Tips to Use eBird for Costa Rica

10,000 Birds

EBird! It’s part of modern birding. In some parts of the world, it seems like most birders use it, myself included and why not? Make a bird list for anywhere, anytime and on a hand held device! Don’t have a connection? No problem! Note birds the old fashioned way (that would be writing on paper) and submit those observations back at the homestead or wherever you have a connection.

The Art of the Bluff: How This Poker Tactic Could Boost Your Sales

Sales and Marketing Management

Author: Greg McBeth “Bluffing” isn’t a word you’ll hear often in the professional world, partly because it conjures some negative connotations. It’s often interpreted synonymously with lying. But this staple tactic of the poker table can be a valuable and valid tool in sales negotiations. There’s admittedly a fine line between a bluff and a lie. It can be helpful to think about a bluff as a tactic used in a zero-sum game where both parties are on an even playing field and trying to maximize thei

Uganda’s Billion Dollar Bird: The Shoebill

10,000 Birds

Not all birds are created equal. The Resplendent Quetzal boasts a tail so long that people travel the world to admire it. The Sword-billed Hummingbird puts its less endowed kin to shame. Penguins are, obviously, penguins, which makes them awesome. These are the kinds of birds even those barely cognizant of nature recognize, appreciate, and aspire to.

Birding Taman Negara, or the dubious joys of rainforest birding

10,000 Birds

Michael Herr (and other people before him) once stated that “War is long periods of boredom punctuated by moments of sheer terror.” When replacing “terror” with “excitement”, this sounds a lot like birding in tropical rainforests to me. You have probably experienced it yourself: You prepare yourself well for a birding trip, looking at trip reports, eBird lists, bird guides, etc.

Creating habitat

10,000 Birds

I love living in central Mexico, and miss very few things about living in the U.S. Of course, I also love birding in Mexico, with its 1,000+ species, and seemingly infinite variety of habitats. But, just occasionally, I feel a twinge of jealousy towards my northern companions. I generally wait until we make one of our rare visits to the States to buy my optics, as both price and variety are much better there.

Best Bird of the Weekend (Fourth of November 2019)

10,000 Birds

When did birding become so intimately intertwined with technology? Obviously, those who seek the best views often aspire to the best optics, which we can all agree are modern miracles of science. But beyond space age gear and technical fabrics, birding also seems to demand a strong, unbroken connection to the internet. When you can’t search reports, compile lists, or (as I’m struggling to do right now) post birding blogs without waiting for hours for pages to load, everything feels l

4 Reasons Why the PDF Is Bad for Business

Sales and Marketing Management

Author: Jason Kren Ink and paper have a great history of helping people communicate. Paper's digital cousin, the PDF, was a great invention and certainly has its merits. But just like the Blackberry Curve and the Motorola Razr, its days are coming to an end. Or need to. PDFs are still great for printing as well as storing fonts, colors and layout information.

In Broome we only have Silver Gulls , but in the south of Australia there are also some much larger gulls. Pacific Gulls- Larus pacificus are generally found on the coast. However, after rain the Pacific Gulls can be observed among the dairy cows in paddocks close to the coast. The presence of the dairy cows helps you to comprehend the size of these large gulls.

Right Brain Brewery: Northern Hawk Owl Amber Ale

10,000 Birds

Today is Black Friday, the notoriously chaotic and sometimes violent shopping day that comes a day after American Thanksgiving. It’s also notable for being one of the few days on the calendar on which nonbirders can be expected to wake up even earlier than birders, as zealous holiday shoppers bivouac in below-freezing weather at the doors of big-box retailers, readying themselves to batter down the gates at daybreak, along with goodness knows what other strange traditions take place on this unho
