Notable Trees

10,000 Birds

Most birders of my acquaintance are also broader naturalists. They note butterflies, dragonflies, herps; they understand at least a bit about the ecosystems they frequent; they care about environmental issues, from conserving pockets of local green space to fighting climate change. In that context, what I’m about to say will probably not be that surprising or groundbreaking, but nevertheless: guys, trees are really really cool.

3 Ways the Best Leaders Set Themselves Apart

Sales and Marketing Management

Author: Mayur Ramgir Great leaders are in great demand, whether a coach for a football team, a CEO for a corporation or a general for the Army. But in many cases people are mistaken about what makes a good leader. Often, leadership is viewed as being able to establish resources and priorities to acquire worthwhile goals. While that’s part of it, true leadership involves a lot more than that.

Birding the Equilux.

10,000 Birds

It is essential that, once learned, any new word should be used immediately in a showy manner to make one look smart. Thus, I give you the Equilux. We all know about the Equinox, the astronomical term to note the time when the Sun crosses the Equator in its seasonal meanderings. Fool that I am, I assumed that equal night would automatically mean equal day too.

Best Bird of the Weekend (Fourth of September 2017)

10,000 Birds

Some of us had long weekends and made them count. Some of us had short weekends or none at all and still made them count. No matter how much time you can spare, you MUST respond to the spectacle of migration taking place right now. Though it is still September and not really proper sparrow season yet, Corey still managed to turn up a nice Lincoln’s Sparrow at Kissena Corridor Park on Sunday morning, his first of the fall.

Shorebirds in Action: An introduction to waders and their behaviour, by Richard Chandler

10,000 Birds

Hi, my name is Dragan and I do not know my shorebirds. If I were to give a speech at the shorebirds conference, those would have been my opening words. Anything else would be a lie. Not that I haven’t had an opportunity to learn them. 18 years ago I moved to Botswana where that gloriously bright sunshine makes observing them easier, while shorebirds themselves ease things further by mostly sporting their wintering plumage.

Birding Before Hurricane Irma

10,000 Birds

I was lucky. Living so far west in the Panhandle, projections of Hurricane Irma’s path never crossed near Pensacola. Though we could breath a sigh of relief outside the famous “cone of uncertainty,” it has been heartbreaking to watch the devastation wrought in South Florida, the flooding up and down the eastern seaboard and Gulf Coast, and now Maria’s wrath in Puerto Rico and the Caribbean.

Night Shift Brewing: Whirlpool American Pale Ale

10,000 Birds

I was ready to say goodbye to summer for good with last week’s sour and boozy pumpkin ale review, but after four consecutive days of record high temperatures here Albany, New York this week, I’ve postponed reviews of brown ales, oatmeal stouts, barleywines, and other autumnal brews for at least one more week. As the mercury climbed into the 90s this week, I headed to my neighborhood bottle shop in search of some sudsy and refreshing relief from this unexpected heat wave.

3 Keys to an Effective Digital Selling Strategy

Sales and Marketing Management

Author: Sona Jepsen Some companies sell to businesses and some directly to consumers, but fundamentally, digital selling strategies rest on the same principles. Sure, the approach and tone might vary based on the audience, but B2B buyers behave quite similarly to B2C consumers. Digital selling yields the best results when companies offer consistent experiences across all channels, including brand image, media releases, client presentations, customer service, and product engagement.

A visit to Dog Lake

10,000 Birds

On the final leg of my “Old Home Week”, I travel out to Dog Lake, a pristine high mountain lake, surrounded by mature Ponderosa Pines. Located about 20 miles from Lakeview, Oregon, and sitting at an elevation of 5100 feet, this 208 acre lake is home to many species of fish, including Largemouth Bass, Crappie and Bluegill. With shore side access limited to the northern end of the lake, that protection allows for a large population of water based birds.
