Wood Sandpiper in New York

10,000 Birds

A couple of weeks ago a group of New York’s better birders were out birding in Suffolk County when one of the four found an interesting shorebird, one which she couldn’t identify immediately. For Pat Lindsay to not know what a shorebird is when she spots one in New York State is a very unusual occurrence and her three fellow birders quickly convened, figured out the bird as a quartet, and got the word out to the birding hordes.

Rufous Hummingbird Male in Northern California

10,000 Birds

The Rufous Hummingbird ( Selasphorus rufus ) visits my home every year about this time. Of course the males come first to establish territory. According to Macauley Library’s migration map the overwhelming breeding activity for this species occurs north of the state of California. The thing is, I have females that have been hanging around also.

In fact, some might argue that, on an international level, this weekend represents one of the zeniths of birding activity and engagement.

Best Bird of the Weekend (Fourth of April 2018)

10,000 Birds

Another weekend, another example of how volatile weather patterns have become. For example, we in Rochester have been assured that Wednesday will reach 80 degrees or so. Yet, we had a bit of snow yesterday! How wild was your weekend weather? These capricious conditions can’t be good for birds either. I dipped grievously this weekend on attempts at woodcocks and owls, including the bitterly brief Boreal Owl at Owl Woods.

3 hacks for psychological selling

Sales and Marketing Management

Author: Tim Houlihan Recently, I met Robert Cialdini at a conference and told him, “Your work has positively impacted my consulting business. Thank you.” He smiled as if it were the first compliment he’d ever heard. “Thank you,” he said and opened up a conversation asking, “What do you do?” We talked for 20 minutes. I doubt that conversation would have happened at a book-signing event or in a security line at the airport.

Peterson Field Guide to Moths of Southeastern North America and of Northeastern North America: A Review of Two Field Guides

10,000 Birds

Happy May Day! Here in New York City, May is a magic time for birders as the migration floodgates open. To celebrate spring migration, I usually review an exciting new bird book. But, this year I’m going to be contrary and give you moths! You can blame the nice people at Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, who took it upon themselves to send me a review copy of the Peterson Field Guide to Moths of Southeastern North America by Seabrooke Leckie and David Beadle.

Week 13: Melbourne, Australia Part 2

10,000 Birds

This is a continuation of the story about landing in Melbourne, Australia, and I will cover our afternoon the first day and my visit to the Royal Botanical Gardens. If you have not read part one, it would be worth your time to do so, as there are some really great birds covered there. It just seemed wrong to post any stories about Australia without at least one Kangaroo, so on our second hike, those featured in the cover picture showed up on the edge of the forest.

Week 13: Arriving down Under, Melbourne Part #1

10,000 Birds

I have been looking forward to this visit for some time. We landed in Melbourne, where we had rented an Air BNB for three nights, right in the heart of down town. Two full days, not counting travel days, to and from the airport really does not do Melbourne any justice. The other side of that, is that I really do not like big cities all that much. The saving grace to my visit came in the form of Giles Daubeney.

Conspicuous Cliffs and Peaceful Bay

One of the delights of the south coast of Western Australia are the beautiful blue seas and squeaky white sand. We have miles of white sand along the coast near Broome, but the sand does not squeak like the fine sand in the south. Between Walpole and Denmark there are some great walking trails with spectacular views and the photo above is from the Conspicuous Cliffs , which you can reach in a conventional vehicle.

Birding in Costa Rica, Birding in Guatemala

10,000 Birds

Central America is much smaller than the land encompassed within the borders of Canada and the USA. After a brief look at a map, my rough guesstimate is that the territory from Guatemala and Belize south to the Darien gap is roughly equal to New England, or Florida and the eastern parts of Georgia and the Carolinas north to the Virginia line. Given such limited geographical dimensions, one might be tempted to assume that Central America is pretty much the same, that the region is fairly homogeno
