For the birds, fall migration is a less intense and more scattered phenomenon than the spring event. After all, there is no courtship and mating to get those avian juices flowing and the weather is typically more stable. For most songbirds and shorebirds, there is usually no "big push" event and fewer of those "You should have been here last week!" kinds of comments heard from birders.
So much for the birds. For a product specialist like me, who must deal in all manner of optics, fall is the beginning of the madness that peaks around Christmas. For many of us in the business, fall marks the beginning of the "makes us or breaks" us season. So while those birds are liesurely flapping overhead, I am trapped indoors tethered to a telephone and a computer.
That's life in the sales world.
