There seems to be a lot of birding competitions springing up around the world.  I have previously posted about one in Peru.  This one in Israel is in its second year and is drawing contestants from all over the world.  I was especially pleased to see the funds raised by the competition go to support conservation!

James Currie (who has the best job in the world) hosts the Birding Adventure series.

They also have a more traditional birding excursion video for those who are not so competitive!
