In the midst of a global pandemic, medical professionals have been heralded as heroes, with some even rising to the status of pop culture icons – even as some supposedly advanced nations have been plummeting into the depths of anti-science superstition lately. But one nation that bestows physicians with the respect they deserve is Jamaica, where the national bird is a hummingbird known as the “doctor bird” – the Red-billed Streamerbird ( Trochilus polytmus ).

Author: Jen Smith, VP Marketing, MarketingProfs In the “Before Times” – way before the start of the COVID-19 pandemic – virtual events were often seen as lesser-than to in-person, bigger-budget events. They were viewed as less compelling, less useful and, certainly, less fun. It turns out that in an always-digital, pandemicked world, that’s no longer true.

China is not that well-known for its hornbills, but in Yunnan province, on the border to Myanmar, some species can be found. While they used to be hunted, they nowadays benefit from the locals having recognized them as a source of income – building hides and charging birdwatchers (mostly Chinese, but a few foreigners like me as well – these are usually the only ones not smoking inside the hides) to observe them.

In my last piece dedicated to the tiny brown blobs we often ignore, I mentioned the trials and tribulations involved in whittling the selection down to suit a single post. It was only during the preparation of that post I truly realized how many images I had of these little brown birds! To follow on from that, I decided to include a few other often-overlooked birds from my travels to Kenya.

Most birders I know across the United States–and well beyond–seemed happier than usual this weekend, even ecstatic. Is a winter finch irruption really that exciting? I didn’t catch up with any crossbills this weekend, but my travels took me from Rochester to NYC and back. Of all the birds observed on the highway, the most interesting was surely the Ring-necked Pheasant that blithely strolled out on the NY Thruway but was smart enough to pull back before losing a battle with a s

The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service estimates that Americans spend nearly $1 billion annually on bird houses, feeders, nest boxes, and baths. A billion dollar market means competition and manufacturers have long sought patents for innovative feeder designs. I previously wrote about patents for birdseed feeders , particularly ones directed to problems with squirrel “marauders.

Author: Thiago Sa Friere With the shift to a remote workplace, sales reps and account executives are engaging with the C-suite. From prospecting to discovery and demo calls, executives like CEOs and CFOs have become not just a name on an invite, but an active participant with plenty of questions and unique problems to solve. . Chorus.ai has seen this firsthand; our data of millions of sales calls shows C-suite participation is currently up an average of 80% compared to Q1 in months like January

Author: Zameer Baber and Garrett Kephart As organizations consider how their operations need to change in a post-COVID world, many are rethinking how their B2B sales teams will operate as many may no longer want – or are able – to travel to meet their clients. This is one of many reasons organizations are looking to implement digital sales tools, including: Companies that appropriately adopt digital B2B sales will drive 5 times more revenue growth than their peers. 53% of companies plan to incre

Fall is well and truly underway and the shoreline is filling with waders and wildfowl. October has seen the return of closer to normal activity for the beats and collaboration has been as high as it has been since February. Included in the numbers are 2 new life-listers; a Long-tailed Koel from Duncan and a White-throated Rock-Thrush from Kai. This brings our all-time total to 4040. 7 countries (Costa Rica, China, USA, UK, Mexico, New Zealand and Serbia) were birded by 11 beats during October.

We birders have a different perspective of the world from most other people. To us, borders seem much more porous, and somewhat less real. Most of us don’t like walls, because they might keep living things from moving as freely as they should. The word migration brings us joy and expectation. We feel, and are, connected to other lands in a unique way.
