Following passage of the United States Endangered Species Preservation Act of 1966, the California Condor ( Gymnogyps californianus ) was among the first 75 species listed for protection, the so-called “Class of 1967”. Beset by poaching by cattle ranchers, habitat loss, DDT, and lead poisoning (from consuming shotgun pellets embedded in the condor’s carrion fare), populations of this enormous New World vulture fell into a serious decline in the twentieth century.

Author: Kostas Chiotis Having a powerful marketing strategy is vital to the growth and success of your business. However, most industries are highly competitive, and if you fail to launch effective marketing campaigns, you may find yourself in hot water real quick. To get the most out of your marketing spend, net exceptional ROI, and increase profits, you need to maximize your marketing efforts.

Weekends, particularly those sweet summer ones, possess a remarkable elasticity, stretching and spilling over its shoulder days and beyond. We savor three-day weekends, crave four-day ones, and treat vacations as interminably long stretches of Saturdays and Sundays. You may already be immersed in your weekend or just gearing up for one. Just try to ensure that birding makes the itinerary.

Perhaps some other time I’ll write in more detail about the links between Minnesota’s Bell Museum and birds. There are many. Now I’ll just note that the Bell Museum was closed for a long time during a move to a new location; the Bell had its grand opening last Sunday; I took some pictures to demonstrate the Bell-Bird link and here they are.

That’s what lots of people have been screaming (well, metaphorically , anyway) as the Northern Hemisphere’s nesting season does a number on various projects and events. On the U.S. eastern seaboard, various varieties of birds have gotten in the way of pipeline plans , whereas on the West Coast, it’s landfill mowing that’s the problem. Construction of a Chinese highway hit a red light after sightings of protected Rosy Starlings (like the ones above which Nate spotted several years ago in India)

When a young bird has to compete with the rest of its nest-mates for food they cannot afford to turn up their bill at anything that is brought in. Be first, reach highest and call loudest, that is the road to fledging success. Unless of course you are a cuckoo and have already eliminated the competition. A single chick fledged from the Oriental Reed Warblers ‘ Acrocephalus orientalis nest, but my, what a big one!

Author: Erroin Martin, Vice President of Sales at Conversica “These are the new leads. These are the Glengarry leads. And to you they're gold, and you don't get them. Why? Because to give them to you is just throwing them away. They're for closers.” – Blake (Alec Baldwin’s character in Glengarry Glen Ross). It’s time for a major upgrade to the way salespeople are depicted in movies.

Author: Warren Fowler The logic behind an online business is relatively simple – you are trying to acquire as many leads as possible and then convert them into real customers. However, this process is everything but easy. Online sales can face all sorts of problems, with duplicates being one of its worst enemies. Henry Staggers, a CRM specialist at Best Essays, recently noted: “Duplicates are multiple entries for the same person or organization in your marketing and CRM automation software.

Summer is normally the vacation season, for ordinary tourists at least. Birders follow different patterns of bird migration and their local activities and travel accordingly. But – where? I discovered this cover-photo map somewhere at the BirdLife International’s website. It illustrates the bird richness per country. And what does it tell us, other than the obvious “head for South America” or perhaps Indonesia?

I want to start this posting with an official appology: you see I feel it is owed to Scotland, Wales, and England, or more appropriately, the “UK”. When we were planning this trip, New Zealand, Australia, and most certainly South Africa got all my attention. The last few visits were almost after thoughts, and boy was that a mistake! The countrysides were incredible, the people were as hospitable as anywhere we went, and there are some fantastic birds.

In the fall of 2017, my mother and favorite birding buddy visited the mountains of Montana for a fishing trip. While hiking along a river, she spotted a large, gray and black bird on the branch of a tree. Upon returning, she raved about her new favorite species: the Clark’s Nutcracker. I’ve been dying to see one ever since. I finally had my chance in June, on a two day trip to Rocky Mountain National Park.
