Résumé :	Eilat is a well known migratory bottle-neck for raptors and other soaring birds in the Middle East. The paucity urasia stresses the importance of a raptor ringing project that of raptors ringed in the Middle Fast, Africa, and Es. A project was conducted in the 1980s and was renewed in will enhance our understanding of their migration spring 1996. Here I report all raptors recovered through the years of ringing conducted at Eilat. A total of 32 birds of 6 species ringed in Eilat were recovered outside Israel, and 4 birds of 2 species were returns. To date, no raptors ringed elsewhere have been controlled at Eilat. The most common species recovered are Steppe Buzzard (Buteo buteo vulpinus, 19), and Levant Sparrowhawk (Accipiter brevipes, 6). This study demonstrates that raptor ringing recovery data can be effectively used to trace the geographical distributions of the species that migrate through the Eilat region.
