Most of the estuaries of Puget Sound in Washington State have been developed, but one of the few that remain is the Nisqually River Delta, which was protected as a National Wildlife Refuge in 1974. Since that time, parts of the Nisqually estuary have been restored by removing dikes and reconnecting it with Puget Sound. In addition to the estuary, the refuge also contains the Nisqually River, creeks, freshwater ponds, wetlands, as well as riparian and forested areas.

Author: Beau Wysong RFPs are a pain. There’s really no way around it. Responding to proposal requests is a slow process that adds time to the sales cycle. For many businesses, the RFP process has changed very little over the years. Manual processes tie up the sales and marketing team for weeks as they sift through previous answers to repetitive questions, chase responses to new questions, verify the information and seek approvals, over and over again.

Whatever weather you experienced this weekend probably resembles your next four months or so, although probably not as extreme. The same applies to your weekend’s birding. Hope you enjoyed it! Ivy and I took out time scouring the frigid shores of Lake Ontario to snag her first Purple Sandpiper , a perfect harbinger of the long winter to come. Corey got out on Saturday morning for some birding while he puttered around various spots in Queens.

Sometimes I am tired of words, tired of writing. So, this post just shows 25 birds I spotted at Nanhui (coastal Shanghai) in October 2019. Not all of them rare, but all of them interesting (at least for me). Black-faced Spoonbills sometimes winter at Nanhui, which is one reason why it would be such a shame if the place gets destroyed. The Blue-and-white Flycatcher is not that rare at Nanhui during migration season, but too beautiful not to be shown.

Australian Magpies are a species that most people are familiar with, but often for the wrong reasons. Australian Magpies are a very large black and white bird. Their plumage varies throughout Australia, but due to their size they are hard to mistake for another bird species. The reason the Australian Magpie has a bad reputation is due to the fact it can swoop at people and inflict harm.

As birders, we face a particular set of challenges. Where can a birder find the best prices for quality optics? Which field guides to use, digital, paper, or both? How to get yourself out of bed on cold, dark, pre-dawn winter mornings, where to find the nearest landfill, how to convince officers of the law that you aren’t doing anything more than watching birds.

Having come back to Mexico from Europe, I chose to make my first home outing to my local lake, Lake Cuitzeo. That is because, by October, the waterfowl and shorebirds that have migrated away from most of our readers, have come to spend the winter where I am. I was eager to see if our winter ducks and shorebirds had arrived. Lake Cuitzeo has an area of 300–400 km 2 (120–150 sq mi), depending on the season and amount of summer rains.

Author: Paul Nolan Casey Stengel said “Never make predictions, especially about the future.” What’s the fun in that? The country, nay, the world, is anxious to see what happens on Nov. 3, 2020. But plenty will occur before and after an expected record number of U.S. voters head to the polls. Business leaders are increasingly asked to anticipate changes that will impact their industry.

Author: Dave Hulsen Organizations resist investing in new technology for many reasons – concerns about ROI, not wanting to disturb workflow, maintaining current processes – the list goes on. But in the age of digital transformation, each day of delay is a day your business is potentially falling behind the competition. So, it’s important to ask – what could your organization be losing as a result?

Author: TIM HOULIHAN I have a friend who started work at a new company recently. A week later, her daughter started her first post-college job. Their experiences highlighted how hiring managers can do better regardless of generation and how onboarding casts a long shadow for how employees feel about a company. What worked. The mother, we’ll call her Maggie, started her first day with a project perfectly tuned to her background and skillset.

Author: Paul Nolan In a recent episode of his HBO show “Last Week Tonight,” comedian John Oliver ranted about media companies that bring us weather news. If you haven’t seen it, it’s a must, if only to admire how Oliver weaves Eddie Vedder into the bit and even does an impression of the Pearl Jam frontman. Oliver shares early graphics from the broadcaster Accuweather that look like first-generation Atari games, along with modern-day graphics used by The Weather Channel to dramatize severe weathe
