Thank you for sharing the links. With links like these we can continue to showcase the little known treasures of Saudi Arabia…it’s not just shifting sands!

I found this website written by Barnaby Briggs I actually met him during his stay in Jubail. You will find that he includes an extensive list of birds he sited in Jubail.

If you ever plan a vist to Jubail, please let me know. I still have ties to Al-Jubail , we still own a home there. The best memory is my youngest daughter born in the Jubail Ind city hospital! ;)

I’ve provided a website your readers may enjoy and informing that Saudi Arabia has long been involved in protection of birds.

When the Italian Club used to show outdoor movies, many times we could see them flying overhead or across the screen.

I work near the sea, and I’m always greeted by several kinds of sea gulls, cranes, and even flamingos on occasion.

We have some lovely birds come and feed off the grass in our backyard in Thuwal. My 5 year old and I watch them fascinated, but I don’t know what kind of birds they are. Probably, coastal, marine birds. I wonder where I can find some information about them. I was actually thinking of hanging up a bird feeder, so it’s good to know that the birds here won’t feed off one. The lack of trees explanation makes sense.
