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. On a typical cruise, folks sleep in, have a lazy breakfast, sit by the pool with a cocktail, and watch the world-class entertainment. That is not the case on a birding cruise.

I would be more apt to accept the science of BBI if the science of hemispheric brain functions was not subject to so much misconceptions and simplification.* My beginning birder instructor started off my first class by instructing us to describe a bird without invoking its color. I am not a stranger to the BBI system.

Well, yes, but I also remember my beginning birding class, and my teacher, the fabled Starr Saphir, instructing us to examine the structure and shape of the bird and its bill. However, articulated in a short introductory chapter, they shortchange the ornithological community and science in general. Isn’t this common sense?

According to a 2016 study by Radford, “[ sales] employee turnover is once again at five-year highs across most of the technology and life sciences sectors. It stings that much more when the individual is a top performer whose experience fell short of their expectations. The only industry where turnover fell, and just slightly, is hardware.”

Long-tailed Pipit is classed as a Winter Endemic and its story is a fascinating one. In 1996, several pipit specimens were collected for DNA analysis and it turned out that there was not one, but two new species to science in this sample! It is most reliably found in mid-elevation ranges, especially where Aloes are flowering.
