In C.S. Lewis’ Chronicles of Narnia , one of the many fantastic characters is a rather human-like frog creature named Puddleglum. Puddleglum is an endlessly pessimistic, though kind-hearted, ally to the story’s several heroes. By the end of the series’ fourth book, The Silver Chair , he has himself become a reluctant hero. Puddleglum could also describe my mood last week as I drove north from Morelia to Lake Cuitzeo.

Author: Christian Kruse Deciding to expand a new business is pretty obvious and straightforward. After all, a new business has to expand from being an ambitious business plan to getting the first office space to acquiring the needed IT infrastructure, to hiring skilled labor, and to expand its market reach. All these expansions are nothing more than the needed threshold for getting a business off the ground, so there aren’t too many considerations to worry about.

Late Sunday afternoon I was relaxing at home trying to recover from my early awakening due to having turned back the clock one hour for daylight saving time. Well, that and over imbibing on Halloween candy, if I’m being honest. I mindlessly opened my phone and scrolled through Facebook…and an image jumped out at me, an image of a flycatcher from Kissena Park in my home borough, a flycatcher I had never seen in Queens, a flycatcher so obscure that I couldn’t even identify it.

Penguins! Penguins here! <pause> Do I have your attention now? There are few bird names that will elicit great big smiles and Penguin is one of them. Other contenders are Kookaburra, Shoebill, and Umbrellabird, but people smile when they hear these names because they know a song or because they can’t believe these are real names of real birds.

The final weekend of October carries a particularly macabre yet playful resonance in most years. The horrors of this particular year seem to have stolen most of the joy of Halloween, if the meager stream of trick or treaters we saw this weekend were any evidence. But birds don’t seem to care about what ails us humans. They have been moving just as they tend to do this time of year, which can–as you may know–spectacular.

Adam Cairns is a photographer, writer and poet. He is returning to the UK after a four year spell in Qatar, in the Middle East. He posts photos and descriptions of the birds he finds on his blog, Birderlife. This is Adam’s first contribution to 10,000 Birds. I was studying a row of Black-winged Stilts on the edge of the concrete rimmed reservoir when a shadow flickered overhead.

Author: Charles Brennan Jr. In a previous article, I talked about self-reflection and taking inventory of one’s skill set. Specifically, what skill we possess today that has already or will soon become obsolete; and what skill we need to improve upon or develop to replace the lost skill. Both are essential to navigating the current environment. But taking a deeper dive, let’s also look at how today’s reality requires we reevaluate how we build and maintain interpersonal relationships where we c

Author: Nick Chasinov The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has left millions unemployed, as businesses in nearly every industry have been forced to close up shop – and many won’t be reopening. Despite the economic damage this crisis has caused, it has also created opportunities, especially for marketers. Agile marketing teams have moved quickly to engage the public with empathetic messages on behalf of consumer-facing brands, and though they received some criticism for sounding repetitive , their effor

I bought a new rucksack yesterday and the first thing I checked when I brought it home was, how easily my spotting scope with a mounted window clamp fits in – test passed with flying colours. What purpose rucksack did I choose? Well, that tells a lot about me: it’s a 40l plane carry-on type (which I will carry on as my day-pack, too). I clearly miss travelling, long distance travelling.

Back in March, back when the world realized that a pandemic was happening and that it was spreading with tenacious unconscious determination, Costa Rica closed its borders. The abrupt move helped slow the number of cases for some time, helped give the country’s health system a chance at staying ahead of being overwhelmed but it couldn’t keep the virus at bay forever.

Western Australia is a very large state and often there are vast distances between towns. The closest town to Broome if we head south towards Perth is around 600kms. Derby lies around 200kms to the north. The capital city, Perth, is over 2000kms away. Darwin is actually closer, but we still have a hard border, so we can’t leave Western Australia.
