Bird Migration and Conservation Meet at Selva Bananito, Costa Rica

10,000 Birds

In Costa Rica, October is our May. Birds begin to filter down through this southern part of Central America by August but the biggest avian movement happens during the third and final weeks of October. While birders up north are pishing up sparrows, digging the Autumn weekend at Cape May, or twitching vagrants, we are busy with kingbird flocks during our height of migration.

10,000 Birds

Way down among the Brazillians, Coffee beans grow by the billions, So they’ve got to find those extra cups to fill, They’ve got an awful lot of coffee in Brazil.… The Coffee Song lyrics ran like an earworm through my head as I prepared for my September trip to Brazil. Only, once I got there, I discovered that the coffee, while good, can’t compare to the birds.

Vermillion Flycatchers

10,000 Birds

This one of the greatest times ever to be here on the southern Baja. The weather is cooling off, the water is still nice and warm, and the migratory birds are literally flocking into the area. The eBird.com rare species lists that pop up in my e-mail are inspiring a major twitch, to say the least. Cackling Geese, Black Oystercatchers, Pectoral and Solitary Sandpipers , even a couple of mainland Mexico mainstays, the Broad-billed Hummingbird and the Great-tailed Grackle have all been spotted.

Best Bird of the Weekend (Last of October 2017)

10,000 Birds

If you’re feeling some measure of terror right now, you may not be thinking of the season’s cavalcade of horrors. No, what scares me is the idea that migration will be ending soon… Nonetheless, this time of year introduces a suite of seasonal birds. Some lakewatching at the Irondequot Bay Outlet was rewarded by my FOY Purple Sandpiper , a rather brown bird feeding on the rocks of the jetty.

The Gray Between the Green

Sales and Marketing Management

Author: Paul Nolan A paycheck is what many think of most when they start a job and when they leave it. In between, there is a lot of gray area. Salaries matter — sometimes too much. People stay in jobs they should have long since left because of a paycheck (and their bonuses as well). That doesn’t mean they’re motivated or even close to performing at peak levels.

Karumba, Queensland

10,000 Birds

Karumba is a small town on the Gulf of Carpentaria in Queensland with a population of about 500 people, but during the cooler months it is a popular fishing destination and can become very busy. There is access to the Norman River and the Gulf of Carpentaria and there are of course crocodiles to consider in this northern part of Australia. Our visit to Karumba earlier this year was of course to observe the local bird-life and we took some time driving from Normanton.

Burial Beer Co.: Blade & Sheath

I reviewed a beer for Hallowe’en last week, but with All Saints’ Day falling on Wednesday and All Souls’ Day ending only a few hours ago, I thought I’d continue the gloomy and morbid mood in today’s review with Blade & Sheath by Burial Beer Co. of Asheville, North Carolina. Not only does the brewery’s funereal name lend itself to Day of the Dead celebrations, but Blade & Sheath’s artwork showcases an ominous Turkey Vulture , perhaps the second-most unlikely avian star we’ve seen so far a

In his prior role as Oklahoma’s attorney general, Pruitt frequently sued the EPA over its regulations, notably leading a 27-state lawsuit against the Clean Power Plan.
