10,000 Birds
DECEMBER 9, 2017
A blog is a place to express ideas, thoughts, recipes, and whatever floats your personal boat. At 10,000 Birds, readers who haven’t been here before might correctly surmise that this platform talks about anything bird-related. As for myself, since I live in Costa Rica, I usually put the focus on birding and/or birds in this small yet very bio-rich country.

Author: Matt Amundson The world of business to business (B2B) selling is like a gridiron. In an environment where the needs, goals and plans of your prospects and competitors are constantly changing, it’s hard to know whether to punt or go for the touchdown. Like deploying a gadget play or the play-action pass, innovations in strategy and technology are often decisive in winning the game.

It’s Christmas Bird Count season, and if you know Christmas Bird Counts you have probably heard the tale of how Frank Chapman invented this winter tradition to replace the older and considerably less optimal for birds tradition of the Christmas side hunt. Of course, that’s not the only Yuletide ritual with uncomfortable implications for the Class Aves.

The 118 th Christmas Bird Count (CBC) began yesterday and I’m sure many of you have at least one count scheduled in the next few weeks. If your CBC experience is anything like mine here in eastern New York, you’ll be counting an awful lot of crows. I’ll be on my first two counts of the season this weekend, and when I finish counting all those dot-dash tally marks at the end of each day, I won’t be at all surprised when American Crow ( Corvus brachyrhyncos ) invariably comes out on top as the mo

My Christmas Bird Count scouting went well this weekend in terms of finding some decent lingering birds but it was lousy in terms of photographic opportunities. I wanted to get some digiscoping in so I made my way to the big parking lot at the northeastern corner of Meadow Lake in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park. Sure, the birds there are parking lot birds but there are lots of them and they allow close approach.

Following on from our walk and discovery of the Long-billed Dowitcher at Saltfleetby on October 9th we planned another walk before we went home. Mum suggested Covenham Reservoir, because even after rain the track should be fairly dry and there were bound to be birds! Covenham Reservoir is the largest stretch of inland water in Lincolnshire and although it is used for various water sport activities during the year it is also used by many species of birds.

Colt Creek was my 99th Florida State Park. What started as a general interest morphed into a freelance job, then evolved into a passion (er, obsession?) for Florida’s State Parks, Trails, and Historic Sites that hit a crescendo for me when I pulled through the gates of the park. Sure, few people remember number 99 when 100 is such a beautiful, round number, but I was determined to enjoy the sunshine and take my time.

Author: Dan Seidman How to get smart — even degreed — online. The world is digitizing everything. My brother “Kenny B” was a DJ during the disco era, late 70s to mid-80s. His tools included 33 RPM records where the trick to keeping people on the dance floor (and increasing thirst or drink sales) was to blend songs according to beats per minute (BPM).

Last week I wrote about the interesting hunting habits of our local Harris’s Hawks. Today I will cover another one of Mexico’s Baja Peninsulas characters, the Zone-tailed Hawk Buteo Albonotatus. Very similar in size and shape to the very common Turkey Vulture , the Zone-tailed Hawk is quite often found circling on the wind currents with those very vultures.

Author: Mike Scher If your sales teams reduce their outreach during the holiday weeks because they think anyone who matters is on vacation, they shouldn’t. This is actually an optimal time of year to reach decision-makers. Data has shown that the best sales-booking days of the year are holiday weeks. Move your fingers away from the cookie plate and back to your phone to get your sales pipeline jumping again.

We have so little of the year left, yet so much left to do. With holiday preparations and Christmas Bird Count scouting, it’s all a person can do to find a couple more ticks for the year list. Truly, this is a time of year to have your priorities in order! My priority this weekend was our annual excursion to cut down a Christmas tree. We picked a beauty, but its massive trunk necessitated a ton of work both in the field and at home in order to shave it down thin enough for our tree stand.

When the news broke about a possible border wall through Santa Ana National Wildlife Refuge in Texas, I decided to make plans to visit before it got bisected by a concrete barrier. I have been to refuges across the United States, but I never thought that I would have a deadline to visit any particular refuge. After all, each refuge has been set aside to permanently protect birds and other wildlife.
