Costa Rica is a country situated well south of the Tropic of Cancer and like most places without a winter, parrots are an essential part of the local avifauna. With 18 species of native Psittacids to choose from, birding in Costa Rica is always a thrill, especially for someone who grew up in parrotless Niagara Falls, New York! Fancy bird like this Brown-hooded Parrot are common in many forested parts of the country.

Author: TIM RIESTERER Sales reps who were selling in person a few months ago are now steeped in a very different (virtual) reality. But how do salespeople feel about remote sales calls versus in-person presentations? Not good. According to our recent industry survey of over 550 B2B sales reps, nearly 70% of salespeople don’t believe that remote selling is as effective as pitching in-person.

Regular readers will know that we keep an eye on our resident and migratory shorebirds all year around. At this time of year we are on the lookout for the start of breeding season in Pied Oystercatchers. I have written plenty about Pied Oystercatchers over the years! The nest sites will look very familiar if you look back over the years, because they use the same nest site each year.

Birding in Trinidad and Tobago has been likened to an introductory chapter in the book of birding in the Neotropics. And for good reason. While the 480-odd species recorded within T&T may outstrip our fellow Caribbean islands by leaps and bounds, it pales in comparison to the massive lists of mainland South and Central America. T&T boasts a fascinating level of biodiversity, however the relatively small size of the islands puts a limit on individual species diversity.

Last week, I told you about my second visit to the roads on the way to the tiny Mexican town of La Escalera (the Stairway). I had such a good time exploring the zone that I went back again the following week, something I rarely do, given that I have so many quality birding sites to choose from in my region. As I mentioned a week ago, the Escalera area is so interesting because it sits on an ecotone, a border between biozones.

And what is so rare as a day in June? Then, if ever, come perfect days; Then Heaven tries the earth if it be in tune, And over it softly her warm ear lays: Whether we look, or whether we listen, We hear life murmur, or see it glisten… Even if you’re not familiar with the immortal prose of James Russell Lowell or feel any urge to see life glisten, you’ll probably agree that days in June can be mighty fine.

As we look back on another Father’s Day, at least in those places that observe it, and another solstice, let us hope that we’ve turned a symbolic page on the strife of the last season. With hope, the next will be much better for all of us. It better be, because with limited travel in the next couple of months, bird lists are going to look mighty spare.

Four months ago, a full parking lot wouldn’t have caused my blood pressure to spike. Four months ago, I would have taken to the crowded pathway at Lafayette Heritage Trail Park like a horse to pasture, reveling in the outdoor exercise and rare time away from my new baby. Four months ago, I wouldn’t have mentally counted the distance between me and every person who passed by, the words “six feet, six feet, six feet” pounding through my brain like a cult mantra.

Author: Kaveri Kalavath Implementing enterprise software has never been easy. And this hasn’t changed, even with software as a service (SaaS) and cloud-based technology. An original promise of SaaS was that it would take the pain away from internal IT personnel and transfer it instead to the technology vendor, which specializes in the thankless job of establishing the optimal hosting environment and maintaining the software for many clients at once.

Author: Paul Nolan. Under normal circumstances, you may have been able to set a competitive but fair price for your company’s goods or services and stick with it. These are anything but normal circumstances. In a blog post about pricing in the pandemic for marketing research firm Forrester SiriusDecisions, Lisa Singer says companies trying to rebound from the disruption of the COVID-19 pandemic must look for opportunities to offer low-cost or free offerings.

The objective is to identify how decision makers continue to learn and pivot their operations in the age of COVID-19.

Author: Tim Houlihan Our behaviors and decisions change regularly to a very large degree because of context. With the quarantine, and now the recovery, the context that the entire world is experiencing is different from what it used to be. We’re exempting monastic monks and those who live off the grid. But that’s not you, nor is it your customers. Sales managers are in a unique position to create a clean slate during the recovery because nearly everyone is.
