The Dead Sea Sparrow is a relatively localized sparrow species found in the Middle East and parts of Central Asia. It is often associated with wetland and riparian habitats in arid regions.
Where to spot
Middle East (e.g., Israel, Jordan, Iraq, Iran) and parts of Central Asia. Found near water bodies such as rivers, lakes, and marshes, particularly where tamarisk or acacia trees are present.
How to spot
Look for it in areas with suitable riparian vegetation. Males have a distinctive grey crown and black bib. Observe them feeding on seeds and insects, often in small flocks.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Most conspicuous during the breeding season (spring/summer) when males display and colonies are active.
