AWESOME. Yellowstone National Park Lifetime Moment!
Who even knew that Bull Elks and Grizzly Bears could swim so well?
Let me tell you. The Bull Elk outswam that hungry Grizz and ended up grazing on the far side of the lake. Observed in a stunning moment at Riddle Lake late one September afternoon.
Imagine just sitting there eating your lunch on a log and watching this REAL LIFE adventure play out before you.
THAT is what WILDNESS is about.
THAT is why we carry our binoculars with us wherever we go. THAT is why National Parks were created “for all to enjoy”.
Who knew that a grizzly bear would attempt to take down a bull elk for a meal?
But then, Who Else COULD? Maybe a pack of Wolves.
And to be there with my trusty compact Bushnell binoculars could be the only improvement. You see the last time I visited, we swapped binoculars for a day. And mine stayed behind for this adventure. Of course I still have binoculars, I simply was not with my Bushnells while they had this adventure! I simply listened as it was told.
You know as well as I do that the most expensive piece of equipment a birdwatcher is likely to purchase will be binoculars. Since good birding binoculars can cost anywhere from $100 -1500+ in US dollars, it makes good sense to know a little about what you are looking for before you buy.
This is one of the topics in my K.I.S.S. Method of Better Birding ECourse which you can sign up for at this site. And I discuss it in more detail as part of those online lessons. The course is free online, though it can cost at least $67 to be presented at a local workshop. So if you want to learn some of the prime tips for better birding experiences, you just might want to sign up for this course. (hint)
Participants in this ECourse will receive a free report on Birding Binoculars – My Guide to Selecting Bird Binoculars as part of the course. But I know many people do not have time to spend with going through an ECourse on birding when ALL they want to know is HOW do I Choose My Binoculars? What do I look for?
That is why I am sharing this brief introduction on Choosing Bird Binoculars with this video from the ExpertVillage at Massachusetts Audubon Society. Not only is it short, about 3 minutes but it is authoritative, coming from some of the finest birding experts in the world at Mass Audubon. Take a few minutes to review the video and then you just might want to take my Birding ECourse!(hint)
I have to ask you if Leupold Golden Ring Binoculars – are they all they seem to be?
Recently I shared about my favored Leupold Katmai Compact Binoculars, so you know I have a preference for compacts. These are 10X32. So they are a little larger, weigh a little more and have more magnification and [...]
