The first optics a birder needs is a good binocular. If you then want to see birds far away, such as ducks on a wetland, you will really enjoy a spotting scope.
If you want a top quality scope but at a moderate price, we recommend the Vortex Razor.
When we tested it for a review, we found it the equal of scopes costing two or three times a much.
Name that bird!
A field guide (bird book) will help you to recognize the birds that
share your life.
