I’ve always birded from home for as long as I can remember. I remember seeing a Ferruginous Pygmy-Owl sitting on our fencepost just after sunset when I was not even ten. I may not have known their correct species names (I thought Tropical Mockingbirds were roadrunners) but I knew they existed. Tropical Mockingbirds on a neighbor’s tree. A Saffron Finch on the same tree.

Author: Tom Pisello Many new campaign and product launches fail because sellers don’t understand the new solution or didn’t even know about the launch in the first place. An email outlining the new product, services and messaging is easy to overlook, leaving many sellers unable to fully understand the uniqueness and positioning of the new offering. In order to resonate with customers, your announcement must be seen, messaging absorbed and content leveraged with the sales team.

With their exceptional metabolism, Hummingbirds are almost constantly on the move to find each season’s best feeding grounds. My area of central Mexico is rich in Hummingbird species, but I do not know any places that are year-round sure things for large numbers of Hummers. Still, when a site gets good, it really gets good! Of all my favorite sites, none is as socially distanced as Cerro de Garnica.

How quickly things can change. A month ago, I was helping fellow birders see their first Emerald Tanagers , their lifer Sunbittern , and wondering where Mary and I could go next, which birds we could chase during the upcoming weekends. Not anymore. As the pandemic suddenly gained speed and we saw our first cases in Costa Rica, we realized that we were in for some big changes.

I am a birder living in the epicenter of the epicenter of COVID-19 right now. New York City is the hottest of hot spots, and not in the fun, eBird meaning of the term but in the “holy moly our health system is going to collapse” meaning of the term. My home borough, Queens, has the most cases out of the Big Apple’s five boroughs. On top of that my day job – which at this point is an all-the-time-job – is being a union representative for registered nurses, a sometime

When I realised that this weekend would be my 500th post for this website I thought I could broaden the “birding” topic to “egg-laying” topic. In Australia we have two egg-laying mammals. These are the Platypus and the Echidna. We have observed a lot more Echidna in Australia than Platypus. Platypus prefer a water habitat and their location in Australia means we have rarely travelled to where they live.

Plagues of Biblical proportions can generally be counted on to provide plenty of zoological variety, from droves of frogs and lice to swarms of flies and locusts. Being generally more charming and attractive to us humans, birds aren’t generally included among these unwelcome hordes. But there is one bird in history that has been associated – rather unfairly – with times of pestilence and disaster: the waxwing.

We all have a lot on our minds these days. With hope, a little time in nature—or at least looking at something wild from your window–took your mind to a better place this weekend. All this time in front of a computer has me craving an epic hike but we barely got off our block this weekend. However, my whole family did take time to appreciate the understated beauty of Mourning Doves.

Author: Andres Lares The phrase “leaving money on the table” is an idiom that means not getting as much money as you could from a transaction. Whether you are a banker where up-selling and cross-selling is the difference between profit and loss (“Did you know we also offer great rates on mortgages.”), or you sell products in a competitive environment and you have to concede on price in some SKUs in order to win the rest of the business (“I can provide that rate for the carpet in the hallways if

Author: Sean Broderick Modern buyers are seeking trusted advisors and not vendors, which is why simply knowing the product or service being offered is no longer enough for sellers. With the average sales manager devoting just 9% of his or her time developing direct reports, there is a tendency for sales coaches to focus on training sellers on the ins and outs of the products or services they are selling.
