Some therapeutic post-lockdown birding

10,000 Birds

Will the post-corona world become a different place? I don’t think so. My country, Serbia, is nowadays slowly emerging from the corona-virus grip. Actually, with 50 to 100 newly infected every day, not so much emerging as keeping a low profile. The restrictions are being eased (too) quickly, ahead of the elections which will surely be won by the ruling right-wing party, using every dirty trick from a thick book of dirty tricks.

On the Road Again

10,000 Birds

Well, I managed to stick it out for six weeks. Six and a half weeks, to be precise. When our local government called for Michoacán’s residents to stay at home, I said goodbye to some 250 regional species, and shut myself in at home with the other 30 that regularly visit my neighborhood. I stayed there as it became increasingly clear that the government guidelines were being honored much more in the breach than in the observance.

Best Bird of the Weekend (Second of June 2020)

10,000 Birds

I hate to obsess about weather, but June temperatures in New York have taken us all on a roller coaster ride with sweltering highs and frigid lows within days of each other. How am I supposed to enjoy a pre-summer weekend dressed in all these layers? Despite my disdain for this unseasonable chill, I chased a variety of Rochester rarities this weekend.

So proud!

10,000 Birds

Taking a leaf from my neighbour’s gardening technique, I have embraced the neglectful method of gardening. The theory being that supplying the seed is as far as you need to exert yourself. “Once the seed is sown, it’s on its own.” I had previously followed a creed that allowed for areas of the garden to be left to their own devices, but for the rest to be micro-managed, clipped, cut and combed.

Bolton Landing Brewing Company: Paradise Bay IPA

10,000 Birds

For the last several years, my first out-of-town trip of the summer takes me to the east side of Lake George in northern New York, for a relaxing mid-June weekend with my family at a lakeshore cabin belonging to a family friend. Later in the summer, I like to head even further north and west into the heart of the Adirondacks for even higher-elevation birding in true boreal – and fly-infested – habitat.

Tackling Low Morale Among Remote Workers

Sales and Marketing Management

Author: Tanner Corbridge. Keeping people engaged is complicated when we’ve been told to stay apart. To manage effectively and create action, we need to come together as we’ve never done before. Morale becomes strained as outside influences push in.

Sales and Marketing Management

Author: Gary Burnison, CEO, Korn Ferry. At a time when different work needs to get done?—?and work needs to get done differently?—?we leaders have to change. Today, everyone is a leader, and it culminates in how we make others feel. I had this experience when I was 12 years old, at a basketball camp led by Coach Gene Keady, a legend in Kansas for having earned Junior College Coach of the Year three times while at Hutchinson Junior College.

Sales and Marketing Management

Author: Paul Nolan. Corporate leaders are asked to look forward and plan ahead, especially in times of great shifts such as the one we are experiencing. It is important, however, to look back, even to recent periods, and make sure that aspects of corporate culture you felt were important are not swept away with the tidal wave of change that is imminent in a post-pandemic world.

10,000 Birds

We had been unable to go camping in the Kimberley this year due to a certain virus keeping us all at home or within our Shire. When the restrictions eased allowing movement beyond the Shire of Broome into the rest of the Kimberley we did not race off camping. Following a nice welcome downpour of 100mm in a few hours in what is traditionally our “dry season” we delayed leaving the bitumen another week.
