I have just returned from Costa Rica, the country about which I knew very little, despite it coming under my radar all the way back in 1999 when the “Africa – Birds & Birding” magazine published some of John Graham’s experiences from his visit in 1993. But, living in the Western Balkans, Costa Rica – and the entire New World – seemed not 14 hours of flight, but more like 14 light years away.

Mankind’s earliest marketers knew this: Umbricius Scaurus , a resident of Pompeii in the first century, A.D, famously promoted the fish sauce he was known for (so beloved across the Mediterranean that even people in France knew his name) with descriptions he knew would appeal to well-heeled consumers; mackerel as the “flo

Birders derive “value” from birding. But does the value of a particular trip come from the number of birds seen, viewing a particular species, seeing an endangered species, catching a glimpse of a rarity, adding a lifer, or something else? How much do birders value a birding experience? Some aspects of birding can be calculated and studied economists.

For the last several years, I have produced a small run of calendars for my fiends and family. The best 12 images of the previous year. As simple as that might sound, over the course of a full year, I will shoot more than 20,000 photos, While that seems like a lot, it works out to about 400 per weekend, if I were to be in the field 50 of 52 weekends of the year.

About four years ago I first wrote about the Pink-headed Duck , a charming species related to the pochards (although how, exactly, is up for grabs, like so much duck taxonomy.) Maybe they’re extinct. Maybe they’re not. Presumably, only the swamps and reedy rivers of Myanmar hold the answer. Now Global Wildlife Conservation is out to get some fresh evidence and hopefully re-discover the species, which was officially last seen in the 1949.

We’re entering the most frightful weekend of the calendar year, and I’m not referring to the debut of the new season of Stranger Things. Halloween draws near, which casts a ghastly pallor over the next several days. Whether you’re looking for ominous owls, macabre night-herons, or sexy Halloween bird costumes , be safe out there. I’m working through the weekend but hope to do a little more lakewatching.

Lake Junaluska is surrounded by mountains, beautifully situated in scenic Western North Carolina, near the famous Blue Ridge Parkway and Great Smoky Mountains National Park. My friend Elisa and I hit the walking trail in early October, taking in the beginning of the autumn foliage and fall flowers (her) and any available avian species (me). We walked just over two miles, first along the road, then on the edge of a few quiet neighborhoods before looping back on a picturesque footbridge over the w

Fall migration in many parts of the world has reached or passed its peak. We as birders know well that there is always more to see, but we still don’t want to miss the most exciting moments. What kind of excitement did you encounter this weekend? I was fortunate to not only run into some tasty year birds like Pectoral Sandpiper but also some local birders I knew only by name.

Author: Rick Cheatham Most leaders believe that strong salespeople are born sellers. They’re natural extroverts, they can easily create relationships with complete strangers, and they can quickly adapt to potential customers’ needs and personalities. But even if the strongest sellers are born sellers, leaders who help salespeople remain confident, learn from their customer experiences, and rise to challenges only enhance their sales teams’ overall performance.

The White-necked Heron Ardea pacifica is a very large heron that inhabits wetlands around Australia and is aptly named with its distinctive white neck. The only similarly looking heron is the Pied Heron , but that species stands at only 43-48cm instead of 75-100cm. The White-necked Heron eats crustaceans and during our stay at Corella Dam in Queensland the White-necked Herons were actively eating the red claw- freshwater crayfish in the lake.

This isn’t the Hallowe’en beer review I expected to write. I really had my heart set on finding some bird-related pumpkin beer this week, but I struck out at the distributor (I know Elysian Brewing Company’s fall seasonal Night Owl Pumpkin Ale has a Great Horned Owl on the label, but I couldn’t find any). But I found instead something much spookier: The Poet, an oatmeal stout by Michigan’s New Holland Brewing, which features a stately raven – quite possibly of the saintly days of yore – al
