HAWK . Some eighteen species of hawk are known to exist in Palestine. The common kestrel ( Falco tinnunculus ) and the sparrow-hawk ( Accipiter nisus ) are the commonest. The traveller through the land sees them everywhere. Hawks were ‘unclean’ birds ( Leviticus 11:16 , Deuteronomy 14:16 ). The migratory habits of many species of Palestine hawks are referred to in Job 39:26 .
