NYTimes: Gray cranes flocked over the Agamon Ha-Hula Lake at the Hula valley in northern Israel. More than half a billion birds of some 400 hundred species pass through the Jordan Valley to Africa and back to Europe when summer comes. Some 25,000 Gray Cranes stayed this winter in the Agamon Ha-Hula Lake instead of migrating to Africa, taking advantage of the safety of this artificial water source.
