And, ominously, there have only been three records on eBird of Black-bellied Plovers , once a regular visitor to Cuitzeo, for the entire central Mexican highlands since 2017. Mexico need much more citizen science, and there are far too few people doing it here. Willets and Marbled Godwits , while rare, can turn up in any winter month.
He noted that this new bird had longer bills and “darker loral and auricular regions” than the mainland Brown-headed Nuthatch, and collected two of them for science. He gave one to his home institution, the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia and the other to the American Museum of Natural History in New York City.
With only a few weeks left before we turn the page on 2017, birders around the world have been burning their proverbial candles at both ends to observe as many birds as possible. I have to admit that I abstained from the CBC this year, prizing personal comfort over citizen science. Sign me up for a Memorial Day Bird Count any year!

Still, to be more realistic, there were 120,000 volunteer fieldworkers from all countries in Europe to collect data on 596 breeding bird species from across 48 countries and 11 million square kilometres in a systematic and standardised manner – one of the biggest citizen science projects on biodiversity ever.
Brewing your coffee at home, which was the norm in 1971, costs (in 2017 dollars) about $0.08/cup2 You can register for a free webinar by Tim in which he will expand on the science of workplace motivation. Harvard Business Review, August 3, 2017. Affective Forecasting,” Current Directions in Psychological Science, Vol.
He has recorded over 20 new bird records for Honduras, dozens of new butterflies, new orchid records and even new species for science. They hope to have a working draft completed by the end of 2017. Robert arrived in Honduras with Peace Corps in 1993 and has been a resident ever since. Once finished they can go to print.
Bird communication is a complex and evolving science. If the photo looks familiar to you, it’s probably because it was used to illustrate a New York Times article on Pin-tailed Whydah parasitism in 2017, if you haven’t seen it, click on one of the links in this paragraph. This is a beautifully designed book.
The growing wealth of citizen science data has not yet been widely exploited by economists as a source of information about recreational values of non-market environmental goods. Ecological Economics 137 (2017): 1-12. ( Link ; temporary free link.). Q: Why study birders and why use eBird?
Birdlife South Africa has previously done two of these types of trips before, previously called Flock to Sea – Namibia in 2013 and Flock to Nowhere in 2017, in partnership with MSC Cruises. These have been used by meteorologists, technicians, and researchers who spend about 13 months on the island at a time researching a variety of sciences.

E-bird data up to November 2017 was used to update migrational pattern data and “for locating obscure but locally significant records that otherwise might never have seen the light of day” (p. This is a project that clearly spanned decades. Another big year memoir? I love reading all of the above.
Jenkins has written and illustrated a number of science-based books for children, many with his wife, Robin Page. Charlesbridge, 2017; Boardbook edition, 18 pages, 7 x 0.5 These illustrations by Steve Jenkins are perfect. The colorful collages fill each page with images of the bird, nest, and habitat. Grade Level: Preschool and up.
In fact, just one-third (34 percent) of organizations surveyed for CSO Insights’ 2017 Sales Enablement Optimization Study reported achieving the majority or all of their objectives. More and more companies are developing a sales enablement practice. However, success rates and satisfaction with enablement programs remain low.
These companies are leveraging account-based strategies, driving enterprise-wide alignment and use data science as a weapon. In 2017, they unveiled a significant update that added “Target Demand” as the first stage of the revenue management process. Knowing your target market is key. There are many articles on this topic.
Other papers are locked behind paywalls.) That research ultimately led to an article about the conservation efforts regarding the Laysan Duck in the June 2017 issue of Birding. ( Google Scholar is an excellent resource and free full-text PDFs can be located for many papers, particularly when research is taxpayer-funded.
I visited Tengchong in late 2020 and wrote about it – but I also went there earlier, in 2017, and this post shows some photos I took during that trip, along with the usual comments that seem to be much more about ridiculing my fellow humans (especially ornithologists and the like) than providing useful information on birds.
The diverse range of vagrancy factors dips into related sciences–earth science and magnetic fields, geography and climate, dispersion and evolution–that may not be familiar to readers with little science background. It’s not always easy reading.
In 2017, I saw the results of one of DUMAC’s surveys. And even when I did try, my counts came up significantly lower than the science people’s count. Frankly, if someone is interested in keeping Lake Cuitzeo (and other critical Latin American wetlands) intact, they are my friends.
Your last post for 10,000 birds was in 2017. The iconic Ted Williams: Cool Green Science – Native Fish Coalition – Audubon – Muckrack – Recent Conservation Columns (I’m waiting for the expanded paperback version of his Wild Moments/Earth Almanac essays to come out in April.
that “beauty happens” and that evolution is often a result of female preferences, rather than “survival of the fittest”) to humans that he seems to veer off (as he admits) into speculation, rather than proven science. The trouble is, the definition of “native habitat” is, for starlings and many other species, now quite elastic.
Videos, like the illustrations and diagrams included in the book, help make literature about science, especially theoretical science, more accessible to us non-scientists. Doubleday, 2017, 448p. If you haven’t read The Evolution of Beauty , I suggest you dip into it. By Richard O.

Describing gull plumage is a combination of science, graphic art, and visual metaphor. So, we start with Dolphin Gull and end with Red-Legged Kittiwake, a totally different sequence from the 2017 eBird listings. The ordering of the Species Accounts is based on Handbook of the Birds of the World, with some rearrangements (p.10).
