Voters across the country support environmentally conscious ballot initiatives. Voters in several states had the opportunity to express their support (or condemnation) of various environmental (or anti-environmental) issues respectively in the recent election cycle. Results from November 2018 ballots indicate a large and dedicated block of voters who are concerned about the health of ecosystems, as well as the preservation of complex wilderness areas.

Author: Matthew Sunshine If you’re a sales manager, you know this to be true: Having that tough conversation with a salesperson who isn’t meeting goals is never fun. Telling people they’re not meeting expectations and inspiring them to turn things around isn’t easy. In fact, most of the time, it’s downright uncomfortable. Alas, it is absolutely essential.

It’s warm as always in Costa Rica but I know there’s a change of seasons up north. I know because I see what the calendar says and I used to live it. The many leaves dropped and curled and being carried through quiet streets by creeping cold winds. Warblers, grosbeaks and the faery phrases of the Wood Thrush long gone. But there’s still birds, others from colder habitats further north, thousands of goldeneyes, scoters and other ducks flying fast, back to the Great Lakes, sparro

Since 2016, writers at 10,000 Birds have been contributing checklists to a joint eBird account called the “10,000 Birds Collaborative.” Every month, Redgannet summarizes the checklists, providing an updated life list, year list, and country list. For the United States, there is also a state list. Note that the collaborative list only includes checklists during the writer’s tenure as a contributor, so checklists before or after that time do not count.

Our second week here in Costa Rica has certainly seen a great increase in the amount of rain. After leaving the Cano Negro area, we arrive at our next stop, Bijagua. We have a room in a great location, very near to the Helconia Rainforest Sky-bridges. We have got one full day here, much like most of our trip has been planned. We will be here for two nights, with the day of our first night being mostly used up with travel from our last location.

We had not observed a Powerful Owl since we were living in Portland, Victoria for a few months in 2009, so once the opportunity arose to go looking for one at the Royal Botanical Gardens in Sydney we took it! According to eBird there had been at least one Powerful Owl present recently and although the exact details were not available it is always worth going to look.

Author: Anand Srinivasan The typical B2B sales process goes through four distinct stages. It begins with Discovery, and then moves into Diagnosis and Design before it ends with Delivery. Among these four steps, Diagnosis and Design is where a lot of organizations falter. This is because each industry and client is different and it is not always a straightforward process to identify client problems, understanding their expectations and charting out a solution.

Yesterday morning I was out and about on the coast of Queens looking for migrating birds. At Jacob Riis Park I stopped to scan a large flock of Brant because you never know what might end up mixed in to a large flock of anything. And while I didn’t find anything rare hiding amid the hordes of Branta bernicla I did manage to find one that was banded and color tagged.

I find the American celebration of Thanksgiving an awkward holiday for birders. There’s no other day on the calendar more associated with birds, but the Wild Turkey – the undisputed star of the day – owes this dubious honor to being slaughtered, cooked, and served as the culinary centerpiece for this annual holiday feast. As birders, our entire pastime is about the enjoyment in seeing and hearing as many living birds as we can, while Thanksgiving – well, to be perfectly blunt – is for many a hol
