This Morning Outside

Time for a chat?

It's not every day that a yellow-breasted chat drops in to my garden and looks me over. In fact this morning was the first time such a thing has ever happened!

Inexpensive Binoculars

Vortex CrossfireEveryone interested in watching wild birds deserves her or his very own binoculars.

A good binocular for getting started does not have to be expensive, but it should have good optical quality.

The Vortex Crossfire 8x42  is lightweight and waterproof. It focuses as close as 6 feet, and it works well even for a person who wears glasses. It costs only $139.99

The Brilliant Lightweight

Swarovision 32Once in a while, everything comes together to make a perfect product.

We think it's happened with Swarovski's new EL 32mm Swarovision binocular.

This is a high-end binocular. Weighing only 20 ounces, with unimaginably bright, clear optics, and working splendidly even for glasses wearers, we deem this — well, perfect.
