It was already dark in mid-October when we arrived to the Costa Rican birding mecca of Rancho Naturalista to have dinner on the veranda but then were interrupted with a call: There’s a Mottled Owl at the other side! You can imagine the rest: everyone jumped from the table to look for the owl. Lisa Erb, the manager and owner, but also a former bird guide, perfectly understood her guests.

Puppies are arguably one of the cutest things on the planet, but they also come along with a great deal of intrigue that comes from a natural sense of curiosity and a sense of exploration.

Author: Jim Ninivaggi Time to dust off the crystal ball. As sales organizations look to succeed in 2018 and beyond, they need to stay abreast of important trends that will impact how – and how successfully – their reps sell. Donning the analyst hat I wore in my previous role – and also pulling from experiences I have with our sales team and customers every day – here are my sales enablement and readiness predictions for 2018: 1.

A blog is a place to express ideas, thoughts, recipes, and whatever floats your personal boat. At 10,000 Birds, readers who haven’t been here before might correctly surmise that this platform talks about anything bird-related. As for myself, since I live in Costa Rica, I usually put the focus on birding and/or birds in this small yet very bio-rich country.

Greg Lawrence is a long-time friend of 10,000 Birds and a birding machine in the Rochester, New York, area. He is currently a Fish and Wildlife Technician with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and a Graduate Research Assistant at the Research Foundation for SUNY. When he reached out to ask if he could contribute a piece to 10,000 Birds about about the ethics around the current Snowy Owl irruption in the central and eastern United States we were all for it!

It’s Christmas Bird Count season, and if you know Christmas Bird Counts you have probably heard the tale of how Frank Chapman invented this winter tradition to replace the older and considerably less optimal for birds tradition of the Christmas side hunt. Of course, that’s not the only Yuletide ritual with uncomfortable implications for the Class Aves.

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. Did you partake in any Christmas Bird Count excitement this weekend? I have to admit that I abstained from the CBC this year, prizing personal comfort over citizen science.

The week between Christmas and New Year is always a good time to reflect on the year that just was. Amongst the highlights that featured in published posts, we find the drafts that never quite got finished, or didn’t have enough photographic support to appear on the world wide web. The left-overs. Black-crested Bulbul (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia).

Now that most of the gift giving and bird counting has been discharged, before the revels and resolutions of the final night of the year, I like to sit–somewhere warm, of course–and consider a cheerful verse from Oliver Herford : I heard a bird sing. In the dark of December. A magical thing. And sweet to remember. “We are nearer to Spring.

My Christmas Bird Count scouting went well this weekend in terms of finding some decent lingering birds but it was lousy in terms of photographic opportunities. I wanted to get some digiscoping in so I made my way to the big parking lot at the northeastern corner of Meadow Lake in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park. Sure, the birds there are parking lot birds but there are lots of them and they allow close approach.

Happy New Year! Now that the odometer on year lists has rolled back to zero, you’re probably eagerly looking forward to beginning the bird hunt anew. But take a moment first to appreciate your final sightings of the year gone by. A confluence of injury, illness, and arctic air conspired to keep me indoors for most of the weekend, with little more than Black-capped Chickadees to observe.

On our trip to the UK a few weeks ago we were privileged to encounter both the Great Spotted Woodpecker and the European Green Woodpecker once again, but this year we had much closer observations and we were able to photograph the birds. Our first encounter with a Great Spotted Woodpecker was just after we arrived in the UK and made a day trip to Potteric Carr Nature Reserve near Doncaster on September 30th.

Winter doesn’t officially begin for a few weeks yet, but the birds this far north don’t seem to care about the calendar. We’re seeing all manner of seasonal specialty roll into Rochester. What are you seeing? When I lived in NYC, I couldn’t avoid spotting Hooded Mergansers , even at the local ponds. Now that I’m in the Finger Lakes region, I can’t even chase them down.

As we end one year and begin another, our minds can often be a whirlwind of possibilities and changes we want to make. Many of us focus on self-improvement and it can either go one of two ways. We either make promises and resolutions in the full knowledge it is what we want to do, or we subconsciously make these changes and efforts without really realising it was what we really wanted in the first place.

Most of my blogs for 10000 Birds fall into the”trips” category. I go somewhere new, I’m excited about the experience, I write about it. But all birders know the value of your home turf, a.k.a. where you bird the most. Your home turf could be your yard, your neighborhood, your county, the place where you know a certain tree limb is popular for Brown-headed Nuthatches , a lamp-post that does double duty as Red-shouldered Hawk perch , or a mailbox known for hosting an annual Carol

It’s the most wonderful time of the year… That’s right, the Christmas Bird Count season is finally here! Birders in Costa Rica already completed their CBC before tourism takes over the country, but most other nations have yet to commence counting.

Colt Creek was my 99th Florida State Park. What started as a general interest morphed into a freelance job, then evolved into a passion (er, obsession?) for Florida’s State Parks, Trails, and Historic Sites that hit a crescendo for me when I pulled through the gates of the park. Sure, few people remember number 99 when 100 is such a beautiful, round number, but I was determined to enjoy the sunshine and take my time.

Another weekend is here, carrying all sorts of inclement weather, natural disasters, and societal upheaval. At least we have birds! I’m pretty locked up this weekend, which may make bird chasing tough, but a trip down to the Southern Tier always has the potential for surprises. Corey will be scouting for what promises to be an outstanding Queens Christmas Bird Count, assuming the weather cooperates.

Cedar Waxwings ( Bombycilla cedrorum ) have the unfortunate distinction of being the undisputed poster-birds for avian intemperance. It seems that at least once a year, mainstream journalism picks up on drunken bird tales of unwitting songbirds getting absolutely sozzled from gorging themselves on fermented mountain ash berries, chokecherries, crabapples, and other fruits that spent a bit too much time aging on the twig or vine.

Author: Paul Nolan When I wrote about former New York Knicks coach Jeff Van Gundy in this space in 2014, I thought it was a one-off. Van Gundy is a smart basketball mind who now shares his insights as an NBA analyst on TV broadcasts. As far as I know, he’s not a brilliant business mind, so I didn’t think there would be cause to share his wisdom here again.

Teams of all shapes and sizes use data to look back at how a particular request for proposal (RFP) process went; according to a Qvidian-conducted survey of proposal and sales professionals from large U.S. companies, 62 percent of respondents use data insights to track the time it
