Author: Randy Stark The relationship between customers and marketers has changed drastically, mainly due to the widespread use of digital assets in marketing. The transactional relationship that is part of traditional marketing is now a thing of the past. It used to be that the interaction between brands and customers happened only when a purchase occurred, while at other times, there was no interaction between businesses and consumers.

Is there nothing more inviting than a fresh canvas, an unbroken expanse fraught with possibilities just waiting to be filled? That is the state of our 2020 year lists and general birding experience. Some of us have already enjoyed some New Year’s day bio-blitzing, but the first weekend of the year offers so much potential to become reacquainted with the species you haven’t seen since 2019.

2018 proved to be one of my best birding years ever. In addition to spotting exciting new species in Florida, including the rare Snail Kite, travel across the country brought me into contact with birds in Oregon, California, Kansas, Maine, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Alabama, and more. Daily birding in my own hometown added to the joy of seeing common species in uncommon circumstances, like a Bald Eagle perched on a Destin sand dune. 2019?

“What is this life if, full of care, We have no time to stand and stare.” William Henry Davies (1871-1940) commented in his poem, “Leisure” (from “Songs of Joy and Others”, 1911), that things have come to a pretty pass when the stresses of everyday life prevent us from taking a few moments to just stop and look. There are lots of quotes beseaching us to be still and appreciate the small things that we might otherwise miss in our busy lives.

We have observed some beautiful birds in Victoria during our visit including the Spotted Pardalote and Rufous Fantail. There are numerous bird species that we only observe when we are many miles from home and some bird species we have rarely observed. We have only observed Gang-gang Cockatoos twice before and once was a pair in New South Wales several years ago and ten years ago another pair in Victoria near Portland.

That’s a wrap! With the end of the final weekend of the year comes the growing realization that your year list is more or less locked in place forever more. With hope, your memories of birding in 2019 will evoke wonder, excitement, and satisfaction for years and decades to come. This week offers the ideal opportunity to look back at your most recent wildlife watching adventures; next weekend, the game begins anew.

Author: Wendy Mack Opinions can be misleading, particularly when hiring sales talent. It happens all the time: Your first impression of a potential hire was positive, but you realize it's not a good fit once he or she slides into the role. The résumé looked good, and the interview was great – so what went wrong? As this situation suggests, sizing up a candidate based on a CV and a conversation doesn't always yield the best result.

I’m guessing that most people these days communicate on social media through one or more chats. I myself am on several. But only birders know that you can communicate on a chat about… Chats. Back in 2013, as I was gradually getting back into birding, I found myself trying to ID a tiny bird that had visited my garden. (It turned out that my ancient Aves de México guide, by Roger Tory Peterson, only showed what was then considered the eastern race of the White-collared Seedeater, and m

It’s the festive season and I am holding the new Lynx Edicions’s Birds of Japan, thinking what a perfect gift to any international birder this book represents. Its waterproof fold-able covers bring back childhood memories… I must have had some illustrated children book with similar covers – my fingertips remember the experience. Birds of Japan is a lavishly illustrated field guide with maps neatly packed among the paintings, and QR codes packed into text.

Whiskey Month at Birds and Booze: This January, Birds and Booze at 10,000 Birds is setting its sights on whiskeys all month long. The cold and dreary dead of winter is as good a reason as any to warm up with a restorative dram of uisce , especially after a blustery morning spent scanning flocks of gulls on an icy shore, trudging through woodland snowdrifts in search of new year-birds, or any other half-crazed birding one does in January.
