Bird Litigation: Spotted Owl v. Barred Owl

10,000 Birds

The Northern Spotted Owl is a “ threatened ” species under the U.S. Endangered Species Act and it was famously the subject of extensive and protracted litigation in the late 1980s and early 1990s, mostly relating to forestry management plans in the Pacific Northwest. Although most of the threats to the Spotted Owl relate to its dwindling old growth forest habitat, it also faces potential threats from another bird.

Beach Battling Snowy Owls

10,000 Birds

I was out on the beach yesterday (Sunday, 11 March) morning, hoping to see some interesting ducks or alcids or, really, anything interesting. I didn’t see any alcids and I didn’t see any terribly interesting ducks but I did find some Snowy Owls. The recent storms have really eroded the beach so when you are walking down by the water it’s not possible to see what is on the higher side of the beach in front of the dunes.

Northern Lapwing

10,000 Birds

“ The Beast from the East ” hit the UK last week, bringing over an inch of snow in some parts, crippling communications and transport. The storm blew in from the Russian steppes and brought the country to a standstill as drifts threatened to top the kerbs and spill onto the sidewalks. Businesses and schools closed as workers, teachers and students were warned against travelling in conditions which could potentially prove to be mildly uncomfortable.

Computer-modelled Range Maps

10,000 Birds

During the final stages of the Pan-European bird-atlassing work last year, computer models of Serbian ranges for some 150 bird species were produced for the first time ever. Now, sensing the spring in the air (two weeks ago we were snowbound while it’s 20oC and sunny now), I am checking those maps for rarer species in closer areas (up to 100 miles from Belgrade).

Best Bird of the Weekend (Second of March 2018)

10,000 Birds

Mid-March may not pack the punch we get from more migratory months in the temperate zones, but this time of year has its birding charms. More surprisingly, not all of them are subtle. For example, I was able to wrangle my first Short-eared Owls of the year, where else but at Nations Rd IBA. Even though a snow squall whipped up as soon as I arrived, a pair of highly conspicuous owls made the trip worthwhile.

When products don’t move smoothly and seamlessly between manufacturer and end-user, they become exponentially harder to bring to market.

Using Predictive Analytics to Define the Leads That Matter

Sales and Marketing Management

Author: Vaughn Aust Defining leads that matter is key to any sales and marketing strategy, but how do you pinpoint those golden customers? After all, it may not be about processing more data, but rather truly understanding what the data means once you have it. Predictive analytics uses data correlation to understand how you target a prospect, what that prospect’s channel preference is, the best time to call, and so on.

Week Six: Doubtful Sound, South Island, New Zealand

10,000 Birds

We have finally broken away from Christchurch, New Zealand. That was a much harder thing to do than I would have ever though. Great friends, a very nice city and lots of great birds all made our stay here very enjoyable. Neville dropped us off at the RV rental center, I got a quick refresher in left hand driving and away we went. We headed south for the small city Te Anu.

Flexible plans due to flooding

10,000 Birds

Late last year we decided to meet up with my sister and her family in Western Australia and we reached an agreement that they would fly to Perth from Sydney during the school holidays in January. We agreed that they would drive north approximately 570kms/354 miles to Kalbarri and we would drive south 1900kms/1180 miles to meet them. We had said we would be in Kalbarri on 20th January unless a tropical cyclone stopped us!

Glendalough Distillery: Double Barrel Irish Whiskey

10,000 Birds

Tomorrow is Saint Patrick’s Day, a holiday that offers plenty of excuses for drinking, but few prospects for straying from the well-worn celebratory routines. For most, it’s a day for swilling cream-and-whisky liqueurs, Irish stouts, and – less credibly – emerald-tinted American macro-lagers. And while the brewery at St. James’s Gate in Dublin has featured toucans in its colorful vintage advertisements, you don’t need me to remind you to drink Guinness on Saint Patrick’s Day – even when t
