“Birdiness” No, not an official word but, um, so what? Many birds sing local dialects, and human languages are dynamic, they can’t help but change, evolve over time. It’s what they do, otherwise, we might be speaking some long forgotten Homo sapiens root language. I wish I knew that one, then I could say that I know the original words, and I am adding “birdiness” to the original lexicon.

Author: Tony Hughes When I sell, there's usually something nagging at my conscience that I'm avoiding. I start the day and there's someone I'm afraid to call. Maybe the timing isn't right or they're too senior. Shoulda, woulda, coulda, becomes didn't. Yes, I'm human. But to transcend, I use fear as a guide that points me to what I should do next. Repetition is the mother of skill, but it also gives us another profound gift which is the development of 'gut instinct.

Today is the exact midpoint of winter in the Northern Hemisphere, halfway between the winter solstice and spring equinox. This means we’re also in the middle of prime feeder-watching season, and I suspect many of you have been busy filling up your backyard feeders for all the grateful little gangs of finches, chickadees, and jays. There are some birds looking to be fed on the label of this week’s beer, too, which is an excellent collaboration from Baltimore brewers Stillwater Artisanal and Olive

When I arrived at the Choctawhatchee Basin Alliance office in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida, a high-tempo, tap-tap-tapping immediately arrested my attention. Surrounded by pine forest in general, the pavement is bordered by a handful of shorter, swaying palm trees. Echoing squeaks sounded from beneath their shade, and as I watched, a diminutive bird launched himself from the safety of the palm fronds to attack an unsuspecting car’s side-view mirror below.

I screamed “UralOwlUralOwlUralOwl!!!”, all the time pointing with my right hand while holding the steering wheel with my left, and the hardest thing, keeping my eyes on the road. Fortunately, B. managed to see it, his largest owl ever. I had just a split-second glimpse of this species – my only second ever – yet immediately knew what is it, but I was driving through a snowbound countryside and had another car behind me, therefore I stopped a good 50 metres later to eBird it.

I am preparing for the new census of one of the rarest birds of Serbia, the globally threatened Great Bustard , taking place two days from now. Together with African Kori Bustard (which I observed on a camping trip in the Central Kalahari Game Reserve), this is the heaviest flying bird in the world. Males often reach weight of 18 kg (40 lb), standing height of more than a metre (105 cm–3 ft 5 in) and wingspan of more than two and a half metres (2.7 m–8 ft 10 in).

Weekends are much like birds, in that some are more prosaic than others. Not all can be stunners or megas. Were we to ascribe to weekends the taxonomy of birds, our days would likely resemble our lists: for every resplendent songbird or wild raptor would be ten ordinary gulls or pigeons, interesting in their own rights but hardly worth raving about.

On January 31st 2018, skygazers were treated to a rare spectacle. The super, blue, blood moon came about when a number of circumstances coincided. Our satellite was at a very close approach, appearing larger in the sky (the super bit), it was the second full moon of the month (known as a blue moon) and it passed through The Earth’s shadow which cast a red colour across its face (the blood bit).

Three evenings a week, I trek exactly 51 minutes from my house or 97 minutes from my office (depending on the day) to the University of West Florida campus in Pensacola for graduate classes in strategic communications. In 2018, I have set a goal of birding at least 15 minutes each and every day, which means I’m usually spending the last few moments of daylight before class wandering around the college buildings.

February may not last as long as other months, but much happens from a phenological perspective in just 28.25 days. Have you recognized how different your immediate surroundings are compared to the beginning of the month? All manner of spring species are turning up in the Finger Lakes region, but I’m still working on winter stragglers, which makes a self-found Iceland Gull my favorite of this weekend.

Have you ever wondered what happens when a sea snake comes ashore and there are shorebirds present? Usually when a sea snake comes ashore it is not very well and unlikely to survive, but birds are partially curious and partially cautious! On this particular occasion the shorebird flock was mostly Greater Sand Plovers with a few Red-necked Stints among them.

This is a Golden-crowned Warbler , Basileuterus cucilivorus. It is a common bird of humid, lowland forest in Central and South America where it is usually found in the lower storey. It belongs to the Parulidae family, but along with the rest of the Basileuterus genus is non-migratory. The Rufous-capped Warbler, B. rufifrons occasionally strays to southern Texas or Arizona, but on the whole, they are seldom seen north of the border.

A bat flew over my house a few days ago. That sentence may sound like the beginning of a horror story, but this bat bade well, serving as a reminder to those of us in the frosty north that winter eventually ends. Another sure sign of spring turned up just the next morning in the form of two Common Grackles stalking my lawn. Make no mistake, areas like mine have plenty of cold and snow still in store for the next month or two.

Here in Albany County, New York, we tied the statewide high temperature for February of 78° on Wednesday – and on the very next day, we had freezing temperatures and got about four inches of snow. Wacky weather notwithstanding, it seems we haven’t yet seen the last of winter, so after some momentary second-guessing, I’m back to feeling good about reviewing a beer called Whiteout now that we’re in for more flurries and chilly temperatures.

This week’s beer is from the Boston Beer Company – a brand much better known by the name it shares with its flagship product, Sam Adams. Despite the brewery’s storied place in American craft beer history, as the second-largest independent brewery in the United States (after Yuengling), Sam Adams doesn’t always get much respect from beer snobs. It’s easy to dismiss the company as too big, too mainstream, too conservative – especially these days when the obscure and experimental nanobrewery down t

In the midst of intolerable or deplorable situations, we often fear that change will never come. Yet we need only look to the seasons to recognize that, just as one has well and truly settled in, we see the first glimmers of the next. For good or for ill, everything changes. If you look for signs of the next season this weekend, you’ll surely find them.

The Doodle features two animated Grebes , amid a snowy landscape and Asian architecture, engaging in a beautiful, serene mating dance that Google’s explanation likens to the elegance of figure skaters.

Birding during quiet periods can sometimes feel like you’re trying to make something out of nothing. Persevere and take heart in the knowledge that there is always something. All we have to do is find it. King Eiders appear sporadically in the Rochester area during the winter months, but, so far this season, I’ve been striking out on seeing one.

Australasian Pipits – Anthus novaeseelandiae motacillidae are a very well camouflaged bird that like open grass areas and also can be found on Broome’s Sports Ovals at certain times of year. Although they are a widespread species they could easily be missed due to their dull colouring and the presence of many other more colourful birds.

Whether you enjoyed the game (and commercials and halftime show) or not, you’ve got to love an opportunity to share your eagle trivia with the non-birding masses.

Alas for the naming of birds that it took place before anyone had the foresight to recognize that the Sharp-shinned Hawk should be called the Mini-Cooper. It would reflect not only a pun hilarious to me personally and birding dads everywhere, but the magnitude of the ID challenge presented by a glimpse of one of these accipiters in swift flight – akin to the Greater and Lesser Scaup or the Long-billed and Short-billed Dowitcher.

Author: Matt Sunshine Sales leaders are responsible for more than closing deals. Teams depend on them to see the big picture, measure current strategies, and evaluate new opportunities. Sales diagnostics help leaders see their operations from all sides so they can identify bottlenecks and keep revenue climbing. These diagnostics — or audits, as some call them — go beyond the sales department to look at the whole company.

You were armed with every fact and figure the prospect could possibly need to see the value of your firm’s services, your charts and graphs were beautiful. It simply wasn’t possible for them to say no. Any rational person would see your well-organized, fact-filled presentation and say yes to becoming a client.
