Everyone 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 Eagle Optics Shrike 8x42 costs under $100.
All the birds love a birdbath, including brown thrashers like the one at left.
Our favorite bath for summer is the Kozy Spa Bath with Pedestal.
