Birds of Ecuador by Juan Freile & Robin Restall

10,000 Birds

Helm Field Guides, Paperback – May 2018. As we birders like to see ourselves, we aren’t tourists but travellers, even explorers. And hence we do not carry tourist guides with us. Our tourist attractions have feathers and unlike crumbling temples or colonial buildings, do not stay in one place. They wander around and are way harder to find. Still, this does not mean that we have no equivalent of those tourist guides.

Every Great Conversation

Sales and Marketing Management

Author: Randy Sabourin The most important things that happen at any organization are conversations. They are the reason we innovate, collaborate, sell, lead, coach, change, succeed or fail. A salesperson who struggles to have meaningful customer conversations, a leader who is misunderstood when implementing strategy, or a manager who prefers to avoid coaching conversations are all negatively affecting their organizations.

Best Bird of the Weekend (Last of June 2019)

10,000 Birds

Perhaps you are familiar with the bit of verse from James Russell Lowell that sings, “And what is so rare as a day in June? Then, if ever, come perfect days.” Even if the words are new to you, the sentiment surely resonates. This month may have brought uncommon cold and rain to Upstate New York, but June went out on an exceedingly high note for us.

High-Altitude Birding in Central Mexico

10,000 Birds

One of the things I love about birding around Morelia, in central Mexico, is the wide variety of habitats I have nearby. Travelling one hour or less, I can reach wetlands, lakes, tropical thorn forest, savannah, oak forest, pine-oak forest, mixed woods, cloud forest, and mixed coniferous (pine-fir) woods. This variety of habitats is almost entirely due to the wild topography of our Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt.

Where Are You Birding This First Weekend of July 2019?

10,000 Birds

Many Americans have kicked off the first weekend of July with a very extended weekend. Unfortunately, a week of Saturdays won’t bring the migrants back! With hope, each of you finds yourself exactly where the best birds are. I’m hightailing it to Pittsburgh this weekend, but my plans focus on art and food. Corey is camping in an undisclosed location, so his odds of quality birding are definitely higher than mine.

Blue, Gray, or Grey?

10,000 Birds

Does anybody know which part of the Great Blue Heron, Ardea herodias is referred to that entitles it to use the colour blue in its name? Perhaps Occasionally White Heron Ardea cinerinoncaeruleumalbanuncenimfiunc might be more appropriate?* Little Blue Heron, Egretta Caerulea I can live with, but the Little becomes redundant in the circumstances. I have often been struck by the similarities of the Great Blue Heron and the Gray Heron, Ardea cineria but therein lies another anomaly.

10,000 Birds

All good things must come to an end and so must Bird Renaming Week. Wait, that came out wrong. Bird Renaming Week is a good thing but this is the last day of said week so it’s ending. Sadly. But we had fun, didn’t we? Let’s take a look at the myriad ways we suggested that the nomenclature associated with our favorite past time was recommended for an update.

5 Sales Onboarding Errors to Avoid

Sales and Marketing Management

Author: Greg Flynn Imagine a marathon runner starting a race without having trained or even stretched beforehand. Or a restaurant serving newly conceived meals that no one had sampled previously. Imagine a new office building opening up without a strong framework and structural support. In all these cases, it’s inconceivable that prep work and a solid foundation wouldn’t precede the final product or event.

4 hacks for managing differently

Sales and Marketing Management

Author: Tom Houlihan There are more ways to deliver value and results than relying on the same old approaches to the same old problems. By looking at problems differently and through different lenses, new solutions get revealed. This was highlighted in the work of Paul DePodesta, the real-life brains in the Oakland Athletics story dramatized by Michael Lewis’ in the best-seller “Moneyball.

Antpittas and Gnateaters: A Book Review

10,000 Birds

Antpittas and Gnateaters by Harry F. Greeney was recommended to me as a book I HAD to review by no less than three birding friends. I hesitated because a 496-page book about two skulky neotropical bird groups is a little intimidating. It’s a fairly large book considering the limited subject matter. I also wondered if a book like this would be of interest to 10,000 Birds readers.
