Data of birds were collected by observation and taking remote photos for them. It was recorded 3462 individuals in total in sites of the research (Al-Bireh Dam, Didaban Forest, Al-Bireh plain). During the research, it was recorded five species belong to five genera (Muscicapidae) which are: Oenanthe hispanica melanoleuca, Erithacus rubecula, Ficedula albicollis, Saxicola rubicola, Monticola saxatilis. Results showed that the species Erithacus rubecula is the widest spread species in Wadi al-Ayon area followed by Monticola saxatilis while the narrowest spread species was Saxicola rubicola.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">Keywords: Muscicapidae, Bird Ecology, Wadi Alayoun, Erithacus rubecula.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">\u00a0Full paper in Arabic: <a href=\"http:\/\/agri-research-journal.net\/SjarEn\/wp-content\/uploads\/v13n3p5.pdf\">PDF<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mohamad Galiya1 , Ali Mansour2 and Razan Balloul3* 1Zoolgy Department, Faculty of Science, Latakia University, Latakia, Syria.2Instructor, Zoology Department, Faculty of Science, Latakia University, Latakia, Syria.3Zoology Department, Faculty of Science, Latakia University, Latakia, Syria.
