[Mnbird] Binoculars

[Richard Carlson]

 The bird Roger can't ID with his Monarchs because it's too far away, will show all its field marks to me with my Leica 10X50 Ultravids.  Just do some comparison viewing and buy the best you can afford.  Nothing's more frustrating than not seeing a beautiful well when everyone else is raving about it.  Good binoculars last forever.  After 10 years, I figure my $2,000 Ultravids have cost me a penny a bird. 
Glad Minnesota has so many migrants now.  It's snowing here at Tahoe and my yard Dusky Grouse and Mountain Quail are still hiding.

The truth be known, a pair of Nikon Monarch 8x42's will resolve all you
need to resolve for bird watching. $230. Can't be beat. Anything more is
just fluff and fancy. Invest any money above that you'd waste on expensive
binocs on all the bird guides you can get your hands on. The guides can
vary in content and are very useful.

The world according to.....

Roger

Happy Birding!
