Hummingbird Heaven

10,000 Birds

Central Mexico, where I live, has a monsoon climate. In other words, we tend to have heavy rains from late May or June through October, and little or no rains during the winter and spring. This means that most of our vegetation grows during the summer and flowers (and/or fruits) during the fall. Because of this pattern, during the months of September and October you will see Mexico’s many Salvia species blooming everywhere you look.

Virtual Training Can Outperform the Classroom

Sales and Marketing Management

Author: Tim Riesterer When it comes to creating lasting behavior change in salespeople, the assumption is that virtual sales skills training is a pale imitation of in-person classroom training. In a recent survey, 65% of companies told us they plan to spend more on virtual training, despite only 10% believing it was as good as classroom training. But what if an online training alternative could be proven as effective?

Best Bird of the Weekend (Third of September 2019)

10,000 Birds

As I anticipated, this past weekend offered a dazzling range of temperatures guaranteed to remind a person of every season in turn. But did that impact or improve bird visibility? I wish I knew. Too much work and too many loved ones in the hospital cost me any opportunity to enjoy a gorgeous weekend outside. My only taste was eating a quick sandwich in a park, during which time I observed the behavior of an impeccably plumaged Hairy Woodpecker.

Little Curlew on Cable Beach

10,000 Birds

Each year at the beginning of September we start to keep an eye out for the return of the Little Curlew- Numenius minutus from their northern migration. Little Curlew are often observed on Broome’s Sport Ovals prior to and after their migration. Having checked the various ovals I was back down on Cable Beach having one of our regular walks. There was a huge flock of shorebirds roosting on high tide on 16th September around midday.

A very British desert.

10,000 Birds

The UK’s only official desert is dotted with shipping containers and paraphenalia discarded by the crab fishermen who call these stony wastes their home and their mistress. Black shacks crouch amongst the crabpots and occasionally a lurking figure might be seen. Dark and forbidding, Lady Helen stalked the shingle of Dungeness. It felt like a scene that had been cut from “Deliverance” With banjos playing in my head, I followed her across the treacherous wastes, glancing behind m

Trillium Brewing Company: Stumpy Duck American Pale Ale

10,000 Birds

I’ll be the first to admit the selection of ducks so far at Booze and Birds has been rather paltry. Our very first post here featured an American Black Duck ( Anas rupripes ), but since then we’ve only seen a Northern Pintail ( Anas acuta ) in decoy form , a white domestic duck , and a pair of flushing North American dabblers appearing only as unidentifiable silhouettes.

The Customer Journey and the ROI of Marketing

Sales and Marketing Management

Author: Tessa Burg The success of a B2B company once largely depended on the relationships and contacts of its salespeople. Now, B2B companies must implement digital marketing into their sales funnels. Why? Because buyer behaviors are changing. Just like the average consumer, B2B customers’ buying patterns have become more complicated over time. Purchasing decisions now involve increased touchpoints through multiple channels, more self-driven research, and less reliance on salespeople.
