More about the place

Bor HaTziporim (the Birds' Pit), also called Kamin Hasif, is a deep karstic pit on the slopes of the hill of Yitzhar in the Shomron. It is about 100 meters deep, expanding at the bottom into a large chamber. Jackdaws, rock doves, and desert larks nest in the pit, and in the hour before sunset you can watch flocks of black jackdaws diving into it. Near the pit there are ancient terraces and a swing for visitors, and from the end of the road in Yitzhar, where you head down to it, there is a view out toward the coastal plain.
