The indoor workshop started with a Covid self-testing (where everyone was negative), followed by lectures on the Swarovski company, its ethos and products. The next day we had an outdoor workshop and a chance to test the toys. You know that classical definition of what separates men from boys? impressive for Central Europe.
I have had a couple of weeks of testing this configuration and further testing revealed some additional amazing results that I did not expect. I came across this while testing the 300 with kenko 2X TC and there we no birds to shoot. In this test the camera has been brought as close a possible to the subject.
Flycatchers are some of the kindest birds to photograph, this Euler’s Flycatcher helped me test my camera settings. It took me some time to find one – but if I hadn’t already fallen in love with its melodious voice I definitely was smitten when I laid eyes on it for the very first time.
The best test of that proposition, of course, is to repeat it to any one of the hundreds of thousands of birders who have, say, a family. Birders are almost by definition interesting and interested people, and those interests—even if they don’t push birding completely out of mind—range widely.
Testing the BTX at Vlasina Lake, South-east Serbia (note the forehead rest and finder) As an amateur astronomer and astrophotographer I am quite familiar with binoviewers and employ them frequently for visual work with telescopes. It is definitely the most comfortable scope that I have ever looked through. and Aaaah’s! Boy was I wrong.
This unusual bird is definitely one of my favourite species in Europe, so I was very happy to connect with it (and to hear its call for the first time). While experiments have shown that some birds (like crows and parrots) can count, this rule unsurprisingly did not hold when subjected to testing.
I strained to see them, could only see an occasional booby escape our bow, watch some of the hundreds of Wedge-tailed and Pink-footed Shearwaters zip by and hold on as our boat tested its speed. As we approached and drew nearly alongside the small seabirds, we also tested the limits of our optics, our balance, and our focus.
Now, let me test the armour of “Birds of Cyprus” (BOC) against the mace of the “Collins Bird Guide” (CBG). In Europe, shorebirds, gulls an warblers are the three hardest groups to present, describe and ID, so I tested the BOC armour where I know it will be the weakest. The Birds of Cyprus definitively. Birds of Cyprus”.
Narrow corridor The Treasury Facade We finally reached the Treasury, the star of Indiana Jones, and a sea of people dropped their jaws at the incredible creation that has stood the test of time. It was definitely a challenge not to have our optics, as we wish we could have had closer looks at the lifer birds and some distant sites.
Plus, the Optics Deployment System looks smart, rugged, and high-tech, which is definitely the look I strive for in the field. I had no problem getting bins on birds quickly during my field tests.

However, the concept is scientifically sound and initial tests showed substantial promise. This is accomplished through sensors that are placed in the headset, and initial testing shows that they can translate certain thought patterns, such as “I am hungry” or “I am tired” from barks to English. In other words, it is.
Absolute field marks between two similar species describe a difference that can be judged definitely by looking at a single bird. When I am assessing a significant observation and am testing my own reliability after the fact, I find that absolute field marks are by far more useful than relative characters.

Some of the first solid research pointing to a magnetic sense of some sort in birds was being produced at that time, and there were even people testing humans for a similar ability. Well, no, definitely not. Some of the research being done then (the 1980s) was pretty naive and sometimes downright silly. Take homing pigeons.
Perhaps that suggests a quick test you can use – do all the reps you send to oil & gas clients know that EROEI stands for "Energy Returned On Energy Invested."
The future definitely will be electronic. I can’t get a good feel for them (I still prefer my book version). Although, I do like having bird calls handy. I think the digital guides need to improve in user-friendliness. A complete guide would have pictures, audio, and video (something like Thayers birding software).

MVP Healthcare is partnering with their biggest competitors in the New York/Vermont area to expand virtual access to medical providers, diagnostic testing and follow up for their collective members. The world has hit the “reset button” and the new definition of world class is the seller who helps.
This does not make them Myrtle Warblers, nor does it make them hybrids (except by a biologically unhelpful, rigidly typological definition). So Toews et al.

I also put it to a worthy first field test on December 29th during a successful twitch of an Arctic Diver that had turned up at a small lake right next to Heidleberg.

Bird song is defined in various ways, but I prefer the functional definition used by evolutionary biologists. One of the (undesirable, in my view) definitions of bird song is that it must be complex. Bird “instrumental music&# is bird song. A bird song is a communication having to do with sexual selection.
It was really cute, they even spelled out the definition of anthropomorphism. There are very few that stand the test of time. My first outline and sample chapter was rejected for being “too technical.” They asked me to anthropomorphize and say things like, “eagles fall in love for life.” Have I somehow overlooked another section?
That’s true and desktop should definitely not be overlooked. But if your client doesn’t know which works best for them, be sure you test each to find out.
