Bird migration! In October, it’s what’s happening in Costa Rica. Our big month of bird movements in Costa Rica, the 10th month of the year, is when most of the swallows, Scarlet Tanagers , thrushes, and other species on the South American express push through. Some stop right in front of our place in the urbanized intermontane valley where the majority of Costa Ricans reside.

Author: Rafael Lourenco When you work for a B2B company, it’s easy to assume that your customers and colleagues make their decisions based only on ROI and other data. However, the higher you move in the hierarchy of an organization, or the closer you get to sales activities, the more your day-to-day life becomes about interacting with people – colleagues, bosses, investors, board members, employees and customers.

Warning: Any and all flycatchers shown in this post may be misidentified. Cut me some slack. These are the Empidonax flycatchers we are talking about here. Dear North American birders: You know them. You fear them. You have probably misidentified them. These are the dreaded Empidonax flycatchers, a genus as difficult as any we are likely to see on our continent.

Last week during a camping trip to Kununurra we encountered a Radjah Shelduck family in one of the irrigation channels around town. We had added Radjah Shelduck to our 2019 list on August 26th at the Derby Poo Ponds. There had only been one solitary Radjah Shelduck on that occasion. The Radjah Shelduck family last week were swimming in the irrigation channel right against the road and so we could pull over and admire them.

Mid-October birding can be as exciting as you–and wind and weather conditions–allow it to be. Did everything needed for a phenomenal weekend come together for you? Our Little Big Day (only half a day birding… feel free to use the term) turned out a little smaller than Ivy and I had hoped, but we mustered 38 species on a day most migrants seemed to spend getting as far from Rochester as possible.

October is a good month to see owls in Shanghai, where these birds are rare in most other months. Two species can be seen quite regularly – Northern Boobook and Oriental Scops Owl. Northern Boobooks are mostly found as individuals. They look a bit like cartoon birds, with ridiculously huge yellow eyes. In contrast, Oriental Scops Owls seem to often migrate in slightly larger groups of maybe 10 or so.

This is the first October in three years I haven’t been vacationing in California. But I felt I should at least return in spirit by an enjoying a beer from North Coast Brewing Company of Fort Bragg, a long-established craft brewery on that state’s Mendocino Coast. North Coast is perhaps best-known for their Old Rasputin, a heady Russian imperial stout named for the mad Russian monk who bewitched the Romanovs in the final days of the Empire.

Author: Ben Thoren This past May marked the one-year anniversary of Europe’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), a data privacy regulation that has had a significant impact on the way enterprises process and store personal data. With this particular regulation and others like it being enacted across the globe, data privacy has become a mission critical priority.

At five-forty-five Sunday morning I started the eBird checklist while perched atop the Battery Harris Platform at Fort Tilden. It was the sixth year in a row of the Queens County Bird Club Big Sit, my favorite event of the year. As always, I was the first to the platform and in the light northwest wind and under a full moon I sipped my coffee and willed birds to make some noise so I could start checking off species.

Why do people become birders? There must be an endless number of individual reasons, and an endless number of stories worth telling about it – about that moment in time when one person’s avidity for avians first kicked in. (Might be a good subject for a continuing feature of some birding blogsite, too.). Stephanie Seymour’s starting story may not be unique but it must be unusual.
