For watching
distant birds ...

The first optics a birder needs is a good binocular. If you then want to see birds far away, such as at a wetland, grassland, or the ocean, you will really enjoy a spotting scope.

If you want a top quality scope but at a moderate price, we recommend the Vortex Razor.

Razor Scope

When we tested it for a review, we found it the equal of scopes costing two or three times a much.

Name that bird!

NGS Field GuideA field guide (bird book) will help you to recognize the birds that share your life.

One that we like a lot is the National Geographic Guide to Birds of North America, Fifth Edition. It covers all the birds in North America, and the illustrations are beautiful.
