White-tailed Eagles normally take flight silently, yet, while checking some Common Starlings and hoping for Rosy Starlings , I heard a few noisy wing-beats, enough to turn and see a young eagle flying with a wing tag. Hidden from my view, it stood on a nearby tree and if it weren’t for those clumsy beats, I wouldn’t have noticed it. To prove more how young and inexperienced it was, the eagle even landed on the ground a mere 15 metres behind my car.

Author: Courtney Beasley, Director of Marketing at Walker Sands Successful and repeatable sales processes hinge on the alignment of your organization’s sales and marketing functions. In fact, when sales and marketing are aligned, companies experience a 25 percent increase in revenue. But when sales and marketing are out of sync, companies often struggle to close deals and nurture lasting relationships with customers.

Every once in a while you stumble on a new natural history book that seems destined to be a classic. Is that a bold enough opening to convey how much I enjoyed The Ascent of Birds by John Reilly, new this spring from Pelagic Publishing? Ambitious in scope, The Ascent of Birds takes on the whole history of avian evolution from before the K-Pg boundary to the present day.

In a little less than two weeks my family and I will be enjoying a long weekend on the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico. While June is not the best time of year to get huge numbers of neotropical migrants it did work out perfectly for us in terms of when we could go and find a really good deal to take advantage of. A three-day weekend is not nearly long enough to really delve into all of the Yucatan Peninsula’s amazing endemics but I do hope to pick up a few and part of the criteria for the res

Your local season of migration, be it spring or fall, is drawing to a close. Every weekend until the doldrums set in can be special, as long as you’re out there birding. I’m still cutting a swath through the Central Highlands of Honduras, enjoying tons of Neotropical birds. Can’t wait to share some of my finds. Corey will keep it cool in the New York Metro area.

The Australasian Swamphen used to be considered to be a sub-species of Purple Swamphen , but has now been determined to be a separate species namely Porphyrio melanotus melanotus in the north and east of Australia and Porphyrio melanotus bellus in the south of Western Australia. This year we have encountered both sub-species of Australasian Swamphens in Western Australia and there has been a lot of movement of the birds throughout the north of Australia as a result of the very wet weather we had

One of the first things most people think of when they think of Trinidad – perhaps after steel drums and calypso – is rum. We birders tend to think of the island as a comfortable and practical introduction to the overwhelming avian diversity of the New World tropics – but rum probably isn’t too far from our minds, either. I’ve never been to the Caribbean, but I suspect many visitors to Trinidad welcome the end a long day of birding the island’s mountains, beaches, and lush rainforests with a tot

That was May. Month of months. As we pass into June we can forgive some of our northern beats if they take a few moments to savour the past few weeks. But the beats go on in Southern climes and our intrepid little-big-year beat, Tom enters Africa. No peace for the blessed (Are you all as impressed as I am that Tom is in Africa and still finding time to review photos, share checklists and write blog posts?).

Gulls make my head spin. You know why. To borrow from the Patty Duke Show theme song (I’m dating myself, I don’t care): “They laugh alike, they walk alike, at times they even talk alike, you can lose your mind …” I had hoped that examining this latest identification guide, Gulls of the World: A Photographic Field Guide by Klaus Malling Olsen, would help the dizziness, and it has, but in some ways it has made it worse.
