I received this item free of charge from Chewy in exchange for my honest review. Spring is finally arriving in my part of the world, and with it, the return of many birds! Because we usually have a lot of.
Author: Theresa Thomas, VP Strategic Solutions, Hinda Incentives Have you ever daydreamed about cloning your top sales performers? Think of it. No more endless recruiting to find a salesperson like Jane who qualifies and closes sales in record time. All your customers would have the pleasure of only dealing with your best of the best. It would spell the end of those awkward review meetings.
Two reactions on hearing that Steve Howell and Brian Sullivan have written a guide entitled Peterson Guide to Bird Identification–in 12 Steps : (1) What? Another identification guide?, (2) Who? An identification guide by Steven N. G. Howell and Brian L. Sullivan? This should be interesting. Two reactions on receiving my review copy from publisher Houghton Mifflin Harcourt: (1) Small book, colorful design, (2) There really are 12 steps and they are not in the order I expected.
A successful birding adventure tends to include a fair bit of planning. It’s needed if “success” is synonymous with seeing a higher percentage of target birds (even if that just means any possible species), the trip being rather glitch free, and having abundant coffee available at all hours. I mean, really, for the birding trip to make the grade, first and foremost, you have to make sure that 1) either every lodge has some form of 24 hour coffee availability, or 2) you can fit
If you’re like me, searching for new birding locations is like a drug: exciting, energizing, and addicting. But, as I’ve written before , there are deep rewards when birding a location frequently. Good thing, because I have birded Norriego Point for nearly 50 days straight, and will continue to do so with few exceptions until the middle of May.

You have much to look forward to, so make the most of every weekend. Of the several FOY birds encountered this weekend, I was most pleased with American Kestrels , which we spotted on power lines along much of our journey while traveling on Easter.

This weeks posting finds me north of the Whananaki area, which is north of Auckland, New Zealand. We are spending some time here on my wife’s family property right on the water. What an incredible place, and as a bonus, it is loaded with birds. Unfortunately, there have been no new birds that I can check off my “Wish List” but if you have to hang out in a place, this is pretty awesome.
Author: Jeb Blount There is no easy button in sales. Prospecting is hard, emotionally draining work, and it is the price you have to pay to earn a high income. Fact: Most sales professionals are not too keen on prospecting. No surprise there. But great reps suck it up and prospect, prospect, prospect; crushing their numbers as a result. These top-earning sales stars are relentless, unstoppable and obsessive about keeping their pipeline full of qualified opportunities.
Author: Charles D. Brennan In his book “Lateral Thinking: Creativity Step by Step,” psychologist and philosopher Edward de Bono states that no matter what happens in a conversation, changing someone’s ideas can only occur when the conversation reaches a threshold of critical thinking. “Lateral thinking is concerned with breaking out of the concept prisons of old ideas,” the author states.
After arranging to meet up with my sister and her family in Kalbarri earlier this year we had looked for a suitable camping area in between Geraldton and Perth and came across the Shire of Carnamah’s website that had information on Lake Indoon. At the time it was not clear if the lake would contain any water at all, but its location was appealing anyway and the fact that not only could you camp there free of charge, but there was also a drinking water tank, toilets and showers.
