This year has been bountiful in books about bird behavior (reference and otherwise) from the likes of David Allen Sibley , Helen Macdonald, Jennifer Ackerman , Wenfei Tong, and others. The latest is the encyclopedic and delightful Peterson Reference Guide to Bird Behavior , by John Kricher. What do we mean, anyway, by bird “behavior”? How, to humans, is “behavior” separate from the bird itself?

Author: Ron Carson Just about every marketer today has been told to listen to the voice of the customer to inform marketing strategy. There are two problems with this. First, marketing teams only receive this information second-hand – through sales, product management, etc. Second, if you only talk to customers, you are only speaking to people who already drink your Kool-Aid.

November doesn’t fit any of the conventional narratives of birding seasons. This month doesn’t really resemble the migratory months or the more staid and settled spans of summer and winter. Nonetheless, November can really cook when the birding conditions are just right. My part of the world in the midst of a glorious winter finch irruption, which meant that Red Crossbill was the star of the show this weekend.

Those of us who were raised in the four-season north (here in Michoacán one could define, at the most, three seasons) tend to think of avian migration in terms of seasonal temperatures. For us, it’s all about birds moving north during the warm season to breed, and south to escape the winter cold. I suspect that for hummingbirds, temperature is not the only factor.

I am shocked to be writing this post already, and doubly shocked that I’ve seen six new species for Queens since I guessed what my next five Queens birds would be just eight months ago, back in March.

For several years I lived and birded in the south of Africa , and still have my battered second edition (1997) of the Sasol Birds of Southern Africa, the most trusted local field guide. Now, I am holding the 5th edition (2020) in my hands – what has changed in the meantime, especially in the 9 years since the 4th edition? Before that, while you all know what South Africa is, what exactly is Southern Africa?

By now, it’s quite clear that the American Thanksgiving holiday of 2020 – which falls next Thursday – will be quite unlike Thanksgiving in most years. Because of the ongoing public health situation around the world, travel and large family gatherings are out of the question over much of the country, which means dialing down the gluttonous feasting for which the day is famous.

Author: Renato Profico As inevitable as the smell of burnt turkey, “Home Alone” on TV and elderly relatives falling asleep in a comfy chair after overindulging in the festivities is the annual spending spree that takes place each holiday season, seemingly regardless of the state of the economy. However, not everyone involved in sales breathlessly counts down the days till the end of November each year.
