Where Are You Birding This Final Weekend of October 2020?

10,000 Birds

In a normal year, we’d enter the final weekend of October thinking of trivialities like tricks, treats, and maybe costume parties. Instead, a cloud of dread hangs over most of the world. Be strong! There are certain days, specific moments when each of us has the potential to change the world for the better. When those moments come your way, rise to the occasion for yourself, your loved ones, and your planet.

Why Traditional Marketing Is Broken (and 5 Ways to Fix It)

Sales and Marketing Management

Author: Jim Ewel This should be the golden age of marketing. We have more tools at our disposal to implement and measure marketing, and, until the pandemic hit, advertising budgets were at record levels. Even with the pandemic, budgets are only down by roughly 5%. . But ask any CEO whether he or she feels that marketing is delivering record levels of business and customer value, and, for most business leaders, the answer is a resounding NO!

Getting Good Bird Video with a Phone Skope Adaptor

10,000 Birds

Two weekends ago I was scheduled to take part in a live birding video, one of twenty birders from across North and South America who were out and about looking for good birds to share with the world through Swarovski Optik Birding’s Facebook page. The video, which was a blast to take part in and endlessly entertaining , would not have been possible without everyone participating having the ability to hook the wonderful cameras in our phones to our spotting scopes.

Best Bird of the Weekend (Fourth of October 2020)

10,000 Birds

October is when rumors of the next season become harder to deny. Where I live, the full splendor of fall foliage coupled with initial fingers of frost refutes the notion that summer will return. Fortunately, nature assures that, as one suite of birds leaves, another takes its place. Even though I had to work most of the weekend, I enjoyed a few striking nature encounters, including an opportunity to observe a Cooper’s Hawk chase a rabbit across an expanse of suburbia.

A Selection of Kenyan LBJ’s

10,000 Birds

Last night in the moments before sleep took over, I felt an urge to shine some light on some LBJ’s (Little Brown Jobs) or LBB’s (Little Brown Birds). What better selection than the various birds of the Kenyan highlands, right? This morning, when I sat in front of my computer to sort through the images it hit me just how many LBJ’s I photographed!

Curlew Sandpiper feeding

10,000 Birds

One of the more common shorebirds along Broome’s beaches is the Curlew Sandpiper- Calidris ferruginea. They are often found in large mixed flocks and many have recently arrived from the Northern Hemisphere. All of the shorebirds that have recently arrived are hungry after their long flights to Australia. On the beaches they are not able to feed all of the time, because they are dependent on the tide.

The Devil Made Me Do It

10,000 Birds

Since I am an evangelical pastor down here in Mexico, I always feel a bit odd when I give visiting birders their first encounter with Lucifer. Of course, in my defense, this is not the actual Prince of Darkness I am talking about, but the Lucifer Hummingbird. And as a further clarification, it is generally agreed that this species’ common name comes from the original meaning of the name “Lucifer”, which is “light bearer”, referring to its bright gorget, and not from

How Sales Reps Are Hitting Quotas Without Hitting the Streets

Sales and Marketing Management

Author: Mark Kovac, David Deming and Sushant Khandelwal Virtual selling in business-to-business markets, often associated with inside sales, has carried a bit of a stigma within field-dominated sales organizations. Sales run through the phone, website or customer portal focused on the smallest opportunities and the long tail of lower-value accounts.

Birding Nanhui, Shanghai in October

10,000 Birds

What an exciting title, isn`t it? I was thinking of something along the lines of “Sex and drugs and birds” first – probably a good way to increase readership … But it really is just the usual bunch of photos and irrelevant comments. Novelty is overrated. So, about birds. Good to see Siberian Rubythroat again after the summer break.

Highlights from Costa Rica, Global Bird Weekend, 2020

10,000 Birds

If the birding world had an official holiday, it would have to be Global Big Day (GBD). No other date captures the attention of so many birders, no other day is dedicated to the celebration of birds and birding in so many places and at the same time. Brainchild of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology , this fantastic concept connects birders, helps birds through conservation and awareness, and makes for the best excuse to give yourself over to a day of birding.
