Have you ever birded a place so young that birds still have no names? Ten days ago, I was sitting in a boat in the Colombian Amazonia, listening to the chatter of numerous Large-billed Terns along a vast sandbank in the Rio Guaviare. The sunset was slowly blanketing the scene, making the water ever bluer and the forest deeper shaded. Then a group of birders appeared from the forest.

It takes a detour to reach Cano Negro Wildlife Refuge in Costa Rica but oh how the trip is worth it. The mix of lowland rainforest, second growth and extensive wetlands makes it a very birdy place to bring some binos. With those avian temptations in mind, I make a point of visiting at least once a year. In 2021, I would have looked for crakes and Pinnated Bitterns in July but my scheduled visit coincided with heavy rains that flooded the entrance road (along with causing some terrible problems i

Getting to Danba is a bit of an ordeal. It seems it is customary in Western Sichuan for large parts of the roads to be destroyed by summer rains, only to be rebuilt gradually afterward. Seeing Google Maps indicating a travel time of 4 hours for about 150 km first seemed ridiculous, but turned out to be far too optimistic. We ended up at a hotel far up some mountain or hill – by that time, I had totally lost my sense of orientation.

As devoted readers of 10,000 Birds know , the writers contribute checklists to a joint eBird account called the “ 10,000 Birds Collaborative.”. Every month, Redgannet summarizes the checklists, providing an updated life list, year list, and country list. For the United States, there is also a state list. The Collaborative has a profile page that, like all eBird profile pages, suggests some goals.

It was some seven years ago that I had the idea (brilliant, if I may say so myself) to use Google Maps “terrain” function to find the highest- and lowest-altitude places within one hour from my home. Michoacán’s topography being what it is, the highest spot possible is a full 1,000 m (3,300 ft) higher than Morelia, at an altitude of 3,300 m (10,000 ft).

From team-based sales to varying prospect conversations based on the data available and the unique customer needs, selling is constantly experiencing significant shifts. Blindly applying a "what worked last year will work this year" approach to compensation is a trap that needs to be avoided.

It is that time of year when we patiently wait for the wet season rain. It is hot and the heat haze is bad not long after sunrise, so not ideal for photography, but great for observing large numbers of birds. As the ephemeral lakes dry out the birds all have to congregate at what water remains. Even though the water is shallow it still attracts Australian Pelicans and both Little Black Cormorants and Little Pied Cormorants.

The demands of finishing your year’s essential tasks while celebrating a suite of holidays definitely puts a dent in your downtime. But don’t give up… you can sleep in January!
