Who else, but a birder, would drive with windows down in subzero temperatures? Just ahead of the final cold spell this winter (-10 C / 14 F), I went birding in relatively warm -4 C / 25 F. I drove along the levee, water level was high… There weren’t that many birds, counting Mallards and Eurasian Teals … Wait, what is that white thing? A piece of plastic rubbish with a bird-neck-and-head shaped handle?

Dolphins have always fascinated me, so when we got offered a review copy of the book Dolphins: Voices in the Ocean, I was very excited to read it.

Author: Peter Gillett, CEO and founder, Zuant. Despite the plethora of martech and sales enablement technologies now on the market, most sales teams are still performing at sub-optimal levels. With all these new tools making a salesperson’s job easier, there’s no excuse for your sales team not to excel. Sure new technologies in other industries can be a little daunting.

It was with a mix and horror and skepticism that I first read about the unholy marriage of Peeps and beer recently perpetrated by Fort Worth brewers The Collective Brewing Project and their partners in this crime at Lone Star Taps & Caps. And to be clear, we’re talking about the pastel marshmallow chicks, not the smallest waders/shorebirds of the genus Calidris also known as stints.

Our first encounter with Common Bronzewings- Phaps chalcoptera for 2018 was near Kalbarri and they were quite easily found during January in the area, but not easily photographed. Although Common Bronzewings are a large bird of around 33cm and weighing approximately 300 grams with a very wide distribution throughout most of Australia they are not always easily observed or photographed around our home town of Broome.

I got out of the car early Sunday morning, walked to the boardwalk, and down a path to the beach. A scan to my west with the dawn light behind me revealed a Snowy Owl sitting behind some beach vegetation, way down the beach. A black corvid was dive-bombing it and though the black bird looked big I figured it was either an American Crow or a Fish Crow.

Back in 2013, I had the pleasure of reviewing Glen Apseloff’s Backyard Birds: Looking Through the Glass. Time, unlike a Kiwi , flies, and now Apseloff is back with another book: Backyard Birds and More: Looking Through the Glass. And I am pleased to say that he’s once again presented us with a pocket universe of engaging photos. As the title implies, Apseloff has expanded his focus (it’s going to be hard to avoid puns on this one, sorry) as well as his book – this one clo

Our trip thru the South Island of New Zealand, is coming to a close, and in finishing the trip, we complete a “figure 8” pattern. Christchurch, south west to Te Anu, south to Bluff, east along the coast to Moraki, then turn north west to Franz Joseph (Glacier) and the Pancake Rocks. After that north along the west coast, up to Tapawera (lovingly referred to as Tupperware) the north to Kaiteriteri, east to Havelock, continuing on east to Picton where we catch the ferry to the north Island.

Given the countless hordes of birds traveling over immeasurable distances during extended migratory periods, every weekend promises delights for some segment of the global birding population. Yet, odds also allow for the possibility that nothing new might fly into your particular airspace. If that describes your weekend, join the club! As my daughter and I were driving this weekend, we spotted a bird so big and black that we had to pop a U-turn to check it out.

The Piping Hornbill , Bycanistes fistulator , has been evading me for 10 years. It can be found in western and central Africa with a distribution correlating with the Guinean and Congolean biogeographical regions. For me and my birding opportunities, this means Accra in Ghana. Operational changes at my airline have moved routes around onto different fleets, leaving me on the fleet that now has only one African destination.
Sales and Marketing Management

Author: Ric Noreen Over the last decade, joint business planning (JBP) between trading partners has been all the rage. Largely enabled by increasingly sophisticated category management powered by POS data availability, most B2B and B2C sales forces employ some form of these JBPs with their largest customers. While advancing trading relationships for many, there are still some common practices that prevent the plans from being true game changers: Collaborative, they are not.

Author: Steve Randazzo Once upon a time, trade shows were deemed the kings of B2B marketing events. Top business leaders flocked to convention centers to learn about new equipment, technology and other tools. This gold standard of education brought awareness to potential clients and gave brands a platform to flaunt their latest products. If attendees were lucky, a little fun was mixed in for good measure.

This weekend promises a frenzy of activity, at least in my corner of the world. Holidays are being celebrated and vacations commenced, while pore over each burgeoning shoot and bloom in an effort to exorcise the demons of a long, lingering winter. And over all this action, the drumbeat of migration grows louder. What a weekend! I and my family will travel locally while prepping for a much bigger and more exciting trip later in the week.
