What happens when you put a naturalist in a kayak, adrift in Africa? ‘There are no crocs around here,’ said a smiling bartender. I think the warlord Mzilikazi must have had a similar smile while raiding the Bahurutshe, not far from where I dropped my paddle into the river. Before it joins waters with the Matabele’s iliMphopho, the river of rapid rising and falling, known to the rest of the world as the ‘great, grey, green, greasy Limpopo’ of Rudyard Kipling’s writings, the Ngotwane River marks t

Author: Peter Palladino The world has become one global village, thanks to technology. In this regard, a company can have offices and business associates in different countries across the globe, and with this comes the need for staff to travel internationally or even relocate to a new country. . Though technology has brought people together, the cultural differences gap has not narrowed, hence the need for cross-cultural training programs.

David Sibley’s sketch of an Atlantic Puffin. I sat down at my dining room table, its wooden surface covered by a wrinkled white tablecloth scattered with work-from-home items; my laptops, notebooks, a speaker, various dishes and coffee mugs. Clearing a space, I retrieved my field notebook – untouched since April of 2018 – and flipped to a brand new page.

I can’t recall a year when birders were as thrilled to see the month of May pass as we all are in 2020. I wonder why that is… To add insult to the daily ration of injury, temperatures in Rochester plummeted from sweltering to near-freezing in the space of four days. Despite the cold, I had to take a run at our last migrants this weekend and was rewarded with a lovely morning of lakeshore birding that included an FOY Tennessee Warbler … don’t know how that one got past me

This week’s wine is a very easy-drinking white blend from the South African winery A.A. Badenhorst Family Wines. It’s going to be a pretty easy post for us, too, as there’s not a whole lot going on here bird-wise to discuss. (By now, Birds and Booze readers know that we’ll gladly take any old bottle with a bird on it for a quick and dirty review for another busy week in this crazy world.

I hope you will forgive my rather lurid title. No, I am not going to tell you about some blood-sucking bird with hypnotic powers. I am only responding to my subjective impression of a single species’ appearance here; specifically, that of the Bronzed Cowbird. (For our Old World readers, yes, I am aware that Oxpeckers would be more deserving of this title.).

It has often been said that a murmuration of starlings is one of the most spectacular sights in nature. When a huge flock of birds wheels and creates beautiful patterns through the ebb and flow of swirling bodies against a setting sun, all one can do is sit in wonder. Starlings are not the only birds to fly en-masse in such delightful style, Dunlins can boast a two-tone effect as they turn, revealing their pale underbody before flipping back to the dark side, but starlings provide a sustained an

Author: Vismay Gada As of 2019, 4.3 million Americans worked from home nearly half the time — just a small fraction of the population. However, the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic has forced millions of Americans to work from home full time. Many employees who are now secluded to their home offices (or living rooms, bedrooms, or kitchens) are working from home consistently for the first time and experiencing the challenge of staying motivated and productive in their new environment, especially while copi

Author: Angela Earl Everyone is apart. Companies in every industry, of every size, are completely remote. But in the wake of these sudden changes, the strongest among us are thriving. Many RFP response teams are innovating. They are creating new ways to keep collaboration going between team members. In a recent article, McKinsey reported that employees who spend less time traveling or commuting are likely to be happier, more motivated and ready to mobilize in extreme situations.

Be careful how you Google ‘bird of paradise’! Type it in and you’ll find articles about a showy South African plant, trailers for two films (one of which was pre-Code and apparently created a sensation), eleven novels, a romance novel series, an animated children’s film, socks, and no less than nine coloring books. It’s the bird family that most people don’t know is a bird family.
