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.

Author: Jeffrey Weil, General Manager, Upland Qvidian The value of data to proposal and sales teams isn’t a secret – but many of them aren’t using the data provided by proposal automation software to its fullest extent. 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

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!

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.

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.

Author: Robert Lorenzen That scrambled, overwhelmed feeling you carry around every day? That’s TMI, a text abbreviation that has become a legitimate medical condition, with symptoms ranging from TL;DR and ICYMI to AFK. Technology that makes life easier often ends up creating more work. It’s just how it works sometimes. For a barometer of how barraged we are, look no further than email.

Having returned from the UK recently we were ready to go camping in the bush again and make the most of the warm weather before it becomes our tropical wet season. Our plan was to head north for a few days and observe the concentrated bird-life around the remaining ephemeral lakes and observe some of the birds that had arrived in the north of Australia over the past few weeks.

October 23 2017: I read the text message confirming that there is indeed a Common Greenshank at Edwin B. Forsythe NWR. I grab my binoculars, camera, and field guide and drive 2-and-a-half hours to southern New Jersey. I miss the shorebird and get it a few days later, but that’s not the point of this story. The point is, the field guide I grabbed without hesitation was the National Geographic Field Guide to the Birds of North America, 7th Edition by Jon L.

I recently read Word by Word: The Secret Life of Dictionaries , a book by Kory Stamper , a lexicographer at Merriam-Webster. For anyone who has even a passing interest in words, definitions, or dictionaries, it is fascinating. I highly recommend it and I’m not alone. The book has garnered positive reviews in publications such as the New York Times , The Atlantic , and The New Yorker.

It would be forgivable to assume that the present state of craft beer, with its bewildering variety and abundance, somehow materialized fully-formed, as if by providence, to save us all from the depressing sameness of bland, mass-market light lagers that dominated American brewing for much of the last century. What’s lost in this arrogance of the present is the surprising richness of our brewing past, and the role relict beers have played in inspiring the creative beer-making of today.
