Uncommon Yellowthroats

10,000 Birds

The Yellowthroat group is an odd collection of bird species. The one migratory species, aptly named the Common Yellowthroat , can be seen almost anywhere in North America. Another one, the Masked Yellowthroat , can be found in five unconnected resident territories over much of South America. Both are marsh-dwelling species. The next-most-widely-ranging Yellowthroats , the Gray-crowned and the Hooded, favor grasslands and scrub.

Asking Isn’t As Easy As You Think

Sales and Marketing Management

Author: David L. Varner We ask for things all the time…asking your dog to sit and stay, or your kids to go bed. Do you get what you want? Simply stated, it’s asking someone to do something. Here’s another: Rule One in sales is: “Did you ask for the order?”. Sound familiar? How many times have you said, or heard this? What’s the typical answer?

Analogue vs. digital birding

10,000 Birds

Looking at a photo of a dozen birders on a Colombia tour, it stroke me that they were either using binoculars or cameras. Not a single one was using a scope. Okay, this was a shorter distance observation, but even in such situations I love to see birds through the scope. Probably some of them did carry a scope, but the majority clearly ditched scope for a camera (and expected their guides to provide scopes, of course).

Montezuma Winery: Red Wing

10,000 Birds

It’s often said that the native wild grape varieties of the New World– of the species Vitis riparia , Vitis labrusca , Vitis aestivalis , and Vitis rupestris – are ill-suited to winemaking in the European tradition. In fact, that claim may have even been repeated here on this page just last week.

The first Pied Oystercatcher chicks of 2019

10,000 Birds

This year marks the twentieth year that we have observed Pied Oystercatchers nesting along Cable Beach. We keep an eye on the 23 kilometre length of beach that runs from Gantheaume Point to the southern side of Willie Creek. There are usually 16 pairs of Pied Oystercatchers nesting along this length of beach from late June. Their success rate is pitiful and can hardly be called successful at all.

Where Are You Birding This First Weekend of August 2019?

10,000 Birds

August’s arrival signals a subtle shift from a somewhat static state of bird movement to a more fluid one. We’re not quite on the cusp of full-blown migration yet, but this weekend might offer better birding than you’d expect. I’ve been striking out on the more interesting shorebirds along the lake, but that won’t stop me from making another run.

10,000 Birds

“It will never catch on” said the producers of the proposed radio programme. “Birdwatching.? On the wireless.? Everyday.? Are you mad?” But sometimes an idea captures enough peoples’ imaginations to make it viable and so it was. May I introduce you to “ Tweet of the Day “, a regular feature on BBC’s Radio 4.

Five Tips for Transitioning Into a Sales Leadership Role

Sales and Marketing Management

Author: Chris Mason So many of us begin our sales careers as representatives of a company, product, service or all the above. We learn the tricks of the trade, the importance of customer service, the power of relationship building and what it feels like to win and lose.
