	Hoopoe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Hoopoe Upupa epops is in the same order of often colourful near passerine birds as the kingfishers, bee-eaters, and rollers.
		However, in the Sibley-Ahlquist taxonomy, the Hoopoe is separated from the Coraciiformes as a separate order, the Upupiformes.
		Hoopoes are widespread in Europe, Asia and North Africa.

	British Garden Birds - Hoopoe
		The plumage of the Hoopoe, which is a little smaller than a Collared Dove, is pinkish-brown with fl- and white -striped wings.
		Jays are sometimes incorrectly identified as Hoopoes by novice birdwatchers, because Jays are a similar size and colour, have broad, rounded wings, and can raise their crown feathers into a slight crest.
		Hoopoes feed on the ground by taking spiders, snails, insects and their larvae from the surface or probing into the ground with their long bill.

		However, in the (additional info and facts about Sibley-Ahlquist taxonomy) Sibley-Ahlquist taxonomy, the Hoopoe is separated from the Coraciiformes as a separate order, the Upupiformes.

		This fl, white and pink bird is quite unmistakable, especially in its erratic flight, which is like that of a giant (Diurnal insect typically having a slender body with knobbed antennae and broad colorful wings) butterfly.

	Hoopoe page
		Both hoopoes and flickers appear superficial to be birds of the trees (and both nest in tree cavities), but each spend most of their foraging time on the ground, probing the leaf-litter.
		Hoopoes are exotic in appearance, but they are open-country birds -- birds of savanna and broken woodlands -- and do not occur in dense jungle (e.g., absent from rain forests of the Congo basin).
		And so there you have an image of the hoopoe, evading the trained falcons as it searches for a vicar's garden in which to take a dust bath before probing the refuse-heap....

		These Eurasian species are always a challenge with their soft and subdued coloring - not like the bright spring warblers back in the Eastern US.

		The first three of these are mostly found in the north & west, with the remaining three mostly in agricultural areas of the east, all along with a host of other species.
		The river valley cliffs in the south are also noted for several species, including resident Peregrine, Eurasian Eagle Owl, Black Wheatear and Red-billed Chough amongst others, along with probably the highest concentration of White Storks, those these can all be found in other parts of the province too (though are sometimes rare).
		Finally, in simplistic terms, the remaining notable suite of species are those of mid- and upper-level montain areas, some of which are found here at the extreme southern edge of their respective distributions.

		Short toed Lark, Black-eared Stonechat, Barn Swallow and Hoopoe were in the flats between the ponds.
		John heard some shrews calling, but for the first time, my high pitched hearing loss (from my first factory job) cut me out of the action: I could only hear the sound of scurrying in the leaves.
		A Eurasian Woodcock gave a deep call, then a higher pitched call and began "roding." It displayed earlier at dusk than the smaller American Woodcock in North America, so it was possible to see its color as it flew at tree top level and out over the younger pines.

		Then we went on to Km 33 for our last chance on Hoopoe Lark here (although not a lifer), and indeed found it there (see Arava valley map for location).
		In the fields before (just N of) the kibbutz entrance we had Black Francolin again (one pair seen and another two heard), and saw a party of three Hoopoes being chased off by a Spur-winged Plover.
