About six-and-a-half years ago I had the privilege of watching a young Waved Albatross on the Galapagos island of Española learning how to fly. The sight of the large bird, so awkward on the ground, trying to launch itself with the coaching of an indefatigable parent, was funny, charming, and amazing in its uniqueness. It’s not often that we have the opportunity to glimpse the home life of albatrosses, nor of any seabird species.

Author: Ajay Gupta It’s well-known that keeping customers is much more cost-effective and profitable than securing new clients. Harvard Business Review estimated that customer acquisition is 5 to 25 times as expensive as customer retention. What’s more, a Bain & Company study found that increasing customer retention rates by a mere 5% boosts profits by 25% to 95%.

Now that the first weekend of March has blown through, a lot of people I know are already looking forward to April. Hope your weekend wasn’t too rough! I had to get my birding in early this weekend, so a flyover flock of Tundra Swans up at Braddock Bay took care of business nicely. I’ve been chasing this species for months in an effort to close out our local swans, when all I needed to do was hang out at the hawk watch station!

Chiming Wedgebills – Psophodes occidentalis are a species that we have never actually gone looking for, but also a species that we have never encountered. We have undoubtedly been in the right environment in Western Australia over the years, but they just have not been where we were on any given day! However, we have recently had an excellent encounter with several of these delightful birds south of Carnarvon in Western Australia.

It’s been almost exactly four years since the last time I was bored enough with my local avifauna to focus exclusively on digiscoping Ring-billed Gulls for a blog post. This weekend’s strong winds kept lots of birds under cover but Ring-billed Gulls are always around in Queens, largely ignored by birders except to be looked through with the hope of finding a Mew Gull.

Fulfilling, delicious if you will, satisfying. Serious chocolate cake? Almost, but even better. They get you where it counts, right in the birding heart. Or, they are just lifers or birds rarely seen. Whatever the case, there are some serious quality birds lurking in the wetlands and woodlands of Cano Negro, Costa Rica. Cano Negro is one of Costa Rica’s two largest wetlands.

Author: Gregg Schwartz Many people think sales management is complicated and mysterious, that there's some unknowable process to becoming a great sales manager, or that great sales managers are born, not made. It's true that talent and hard work and people skills are all part of the mix of succeeding as a sales manager, but for many of the best sales managers, success is a matter of choice.

Author: Tim Houlihan Is HR telling you your millennial sales reps don’t like their incentive plans? Are you really going to have a different incentive for the 26-year-old white female than the one for the 45-year-old Asian male? Fact: Reps are complex and the psychological underpinnings that lead them to engage change over time and under different situations.

As soon as we conduct a study that illuminates how to address a certain moment in the purchase cycle, another customer comes along wondering how to handle a different selling scenario.

I hope everyone participated in at least one day of the four day Great Backyard Bird Count of 2018. I submitted five checklists from four different locations yielding 44 species. As I walked out on my back porch on Friday morning, the first day of the count, it was a cool, clear day and the birds were very active at the feeders. As the Red-Shouldered Hawk seen above screamed overhead, Acorn Woodpeckers not only treated themselves to the woodpecker feeder, they had to attack the sunflower feeders

No matter how much I want to make sure these stories are all about the birds, there is just something I just have to get off my chest. It’s all about March 1st. It is gone. Never to be seen again. I have now flown to New Zealand, in search of as many new bird species as I can track down, at a semi-pedestrian pace, mixed with some normal tourist activities.

February birding can be tough. “They will still be there next week” can no longer be used as an excuse to avoid some heavy weather. This month is when the hard work to fill the winter quota is put in. So bravo to the beats who have wrapped up, knuckled down and got out there. 149 lists were submitted from 6 countries by 10 beats. They found 673 species and advanced the yearly total to 1019.
