This Morning Outside

Hmmm. No juncos in my backyard this morning. And no white-crowned sparrows. No goldfinches. No cardinals. No chickadees. No blue jays.

But ah, one sharp-shinned hawk, watchful in the cherry tree.

So that explains it then.

For watching
distant birds ...

The first optics a birder needs is a good binocular. If you then want to watch a nest in the woods from a distance and not disturb the birds, 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.
