“I would certainly recommend Serbia to visiting birders. My own trip was not an intensive birding experience, and August is clearly not the most productive month. I chalked up 132 species in a pretty relaxed eight days, during which birds shared the agenda with culture. Nonetheless, I visited some excellent habitats, especially the flooded wetlands, and saw some good birds,” wrote the UK Birdwatch Magazine journalist Mike Unwin of his bird tour of northern Serbia 15 years ago.
Author: Anil Kaul Co-Founder and CEO of Absolutdata Artificial intelligence — AI for short — is already changing the world in countless ways. Millions of people use devices like Amazon Echo and Google Home to find out more about products and services they need or to control their home environment. Virtually all automakers are exploring self-driving car technology.
I took advantage of Indigenous Peoples Day today to get some birding across Queens done. On my voyage of discovery I hit quite a few parks and by early afternoon I had had enough. But I still pulled into the parking lot at Meadow Lake in Flushing Meadows Corona Park where I figured I would do a quick scan of the lake before getting home for a nap before the rest of the family got home.
Did you participate in last weekend’s Global Big Day ? According to eBird , more than 17,000 birders from 146 countries tallied 6,136 species of birds. Wow! Whether you were part of that international birding brigade or not, you can make this weekend big too. There are still a lot of birds that need to be seen out there! I’ll be kicking around Rochester trying to clean up my year list.
Can anyone deny that a perfect autumn weekend ranks as high as any span of days any other time of year? When summer’s rampant growth tips over into gaudy rot and all your old avian friends pass through on the way to points south, when nothing tastes better than a ripe apples after a fall hike, those are fine days. Anyone who didn’t spend this past weekend somewhere in the temperate zones of the Northern Hemisphere missed out!
With Wyoming and South Dakota in our rear view mirror, we look toward Colorado, and a hot spot I have been anxious to visit. Trinidad Colorado is located just a few miles north of the Colorado – New Mexico border, and home to the Trinidad Reservoir. This area also is where I hope to fill in a few target birds, like the newly spilt Woodhouse’s Scrub Jay, Pinyon Jays and Prairie Falcons.
Originally, I had big plans for the October Big Day. I would wake up in darkness, gather my camera and binoculars and drive to Alabama for a birding tour along a river. I would tick off migrating songbirds, from tanagers to vireos and everything in between. I would add new sightings to my current year list, which has stood at 250 since the Bell’s Vireo I spotted in Kansas on September 7th.

When we have camped at Ellendale Dam in the past we have invariable been woken by Blue-winged Kookaburras and they are often the last bird to call out as the sun drops below the horizon. The call of the Blue-winged Kookaburra is not the laugh of the Laughing Kookaburra , but a more manic sound. In fact they may not even call at all and despite their size they may well be overlooked if they are sitting quietly in a tree.
Author: Lee B. Salz At a young age, I was told that I should pursue a career in sales. I heard it in high school, again in college and, yet again, post-graduation. Perhaps, people told you that you have what it takes to be a great salesperson. Why did people tell us that we should pursue a sales career? There was one reason. We were great talkers. People not in the sales profession think that “talking” is the key to sales success.
Author: Jon Robinson Some of the biggest companies in the world use Salesforce to meet their business needs. Adidas, ADP and T-Mobile all utilize the customer relationship management (CRM) platform to streamline and optimize their sales processes, but many of Salesforce’s customers are also startups and small-medium businesses (SMBs). While other CRMs can be easily outgrown as a company gets larger, Salesforce offers solutions that can be scaled and upgraded to meet the needs of any business – f

After our brief trip thru the great state of Texas, we were headed back into New Mexico, a state I was quite excited to explore. I have been all around the western states, here and there, but never spent any time in New Mexico. Our first stop was a mutually agreed upon stop, in Tucumcari. This historic little town, is well known for it’s relationship with the old Route 66.
The nights are drawing in and the mornings are cooler and noticeably damper. It’s September and time for birds to start their southerly journeys. The beats have been out to line their route and cheer them along, wishing them bon voyage and a safe return next spring. At the far ends of the world, our southern beats are poised to welcome them back.
October 18 is a legal holiday in the 49th state. Alaska Day commemorates Alaska’s formal transfer from Russia to the United States in 1867. It is therefore appropriate for birders to pause and recognize significance of the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA). What is ANILCA? ANILCA was approved by Congress and signed by President Jimmy Carter in late 1980, the culmination of years of contentious negotiations in Congress.
