In a warm Catalonian March (I was about to say Spanish, but among quite a few flags, I haven’t seen a single Spanish one), Barcelona was filled with sunlight and full of Rose-ringed and Monk Parakeets , two charming but alien and invasive species. The year was 2013 and despite all that sun, I have spent days in a darkened Museu Blau (blue only on the facade, but black inside, almost gothic) with a rather interesting natural history collection (the most interesting question was – how many of thos

Author: Lewis Robinson “Any customer can have a car painted any color that he wants, so long as it is black.”. This is the infamous quote by Henry Ford, and if you know about Ford’s production techniques, you definitely understand what he means. The Model T was mass produced and it launched the industrial juggernaut of the century. This was not just used for one mode, it became the baseline strategy for a number of leading organizations.

It has been a few years since I could share some good news about the Pied Oystercatchers breeding along the coast near Broome. Hopefully you won’t mind me writing a bit more this year about Pied Oystercatchers during the breeding season! We continue to have egg predation at many of the nest sites and chick loss, but one pair of Pied Oystercatchers is being successful in raising two chicks so far.

The end of August keeps most of us in the Northern Hemisphere busy, what with the impending end of summer and all that. Enjoy what today has to offer while looking forward to what is to come. My extended family from The Bronx visited us this weekend for some upstate festivities. What could be better than the New York State Fair, especially after a Bald Eagle deigned to circle overhead in honor of everything that makes the Empire State great?

Last week, I had only just returned from a day on the Michoacán coast when my posting schedule required I write my report of the trip. I was still processing my photos, and the photos that had impressed me most featured shorebirds standing in front of the large waves produced by a tropical storm that was forming. I still like those photos. It wasn’t until after I posted that first article that I started to appreciate a set of photos with a more subtle setting.

The last ten day days have been one of the most intense, yet invigorating days of birding that can ever remember embarking on. It has almost been a “Perfect Storm” scenario, with several contributing factors all coming together to start me on this birding blitz. I had just wrapped up lending a hand with the Tucson Arizona South-east Birding Festival, my wife Jeanne was going out of town for those same ten days, local Tucson birding legend Brian Nicholas had offered to show me a few of his favori

“ GREBE sp !!” “ What ?” “ GREBE sp!! Get a picture! ” This time of year makes great demands on Lady Helen’s patience. “ A picture of what? ” “ That truck. The one that looks like a grebe sp., of course. ” “ I have become accustomed to your unexpected ejaculations, Gannet Dear, ” she sighed, “ but I simply do not know what you are talking about. ” I must commend her for her forbearance.

Author: Mike DeLeonardis, President, North America at beqom Generation Z graduates, or those born between 1997 and 2012, are flooding the workplace, and with a flowing economy and tight labor market, it can be difficult for companies to recruit and retain these entry-level employees. Gen Zs have the advantage to be choosy about the jobs they take, but they are also more likely to be continually looking for better opportunities.

It’s the eve of a holiday weekend here in New York, with the long Labor Day weekend traditionally marking the end of summer for most Americans. It’s time to put away to that white summer clothing and seersucker duds before heading back to work and school. And for wine fans, it means drinking up the last of the summer’s rose before chillier autumn weather arrives and we move on to heartier selections.
