Bird Binoculars for This Fall Trip

Posted on October 9, 2008 by | 92 Comments

Bird Binoculars and bird guides are tops on my list now as I prepare for a short camping trip. I forgot them once and ONLY once ever.
As part of this autumn trip I will take a long drive through some fabulous fall colors in the Great Smoky Mountains and then along the Blue Ridge Drive and through West Virginia where I have some really favorite State Parks for camping. And then on to the western front of the Allegheny Mountain range in Pennsylvania. I look forward to this trip. I used to live there, in each of these areas.

And it is a lot like a homecoming for me to check out favorite birding locations. Having spent years in the field, I know where to look for some bald eagle nesting areas, great blue heron rookeries and it is a good time to be in the mountains to watch for fall migrations.

I carry in my car a compact pair of binoculars for handy roadside viewing when I have a lot of driving to do. They are Bushnell 8X25 from quite a while ago when I first started using compact binoculars for field work. For my camping time I will use a spotting scope which is also made by Bushnell, actually. Though I had not thought of this before now. I guess the photography shop where I bought my scope and binoculars liked Bushnell products in particular.

Bird Watching Binoculars – Critical Bird Watching Equipment

Posted on October 7, 2008 by | 3 Comments

I ran across this article recently and decided to include it here to share another birder’s perspective on selecting bird binoculars for long term use. I hope you find it valuable. Enjoy.

By Richard Chapo

Avid bird watching enthusiasts often look like pack mules hiking to a gold rush in the west. Bird watching binoculars are one of the critical pieces of equipment they carry.

Binoculars

There are a lot of issues when it comes to choosing binoculars for bird watching. Optics and personal preference seem to be the foremost, but here is a list of issues you should consider.

Bashability

Bashability isn’t really a word in the English language, but it certainly applies to bird watching. The bashability of binoculars refers to how tough they are. For instance, if you drop them on the driveway while loading the car, will they hold up? What if you drop them off a small cliff? I, err…”a friend” once did this on the cliffs above Torrey Pines beach in San Diego. More than a few people have been surprised to learn that binoculars go out of whack when bashed. Now, I realize you would never drop them or subject them to anything but the finest treatment, but just check them for me.
