looking for bird-watching binoculars

11 years ago

I've searched for threads about this, but, have not seen a lot of information so, can anybody give me a good recommendation for birding binoculars?

My budget can go as high as $150.00. I had earlier seen a post from somebody saying that he found a real good pair of

binoculars that ALSO have a built-in camera....that would be even better.

Thanks in advance.

Kevin

forgot to mention the others: doves, mockingbirds, grackles-common and boat-tailed, sparrows, painted buntings, blue jays, woodpeckers, yellow throated warbler, phoebe or flycatcher - not sure. yellow rumped warbler, turkey buzzards, crows. ducks flying over - don't know what brand. white ibis, lord and lady cardinal. cormorant flying over..woodstork. Think that's it for today. I love this time of year, too...especially for the birds. Have not seen the robins in a few days now, and the goldfinches flitted on through...only stopped for a very, very short time this year..yesterday I saw two..today nothing. No orioles yet, either, nor cedar waxwings...hoping maybe for this week, tho....it was the first week of March last year.

albert, I once thought bird watching was fun and then I got hooked/addicted and started feeding them a few years ago. Then I started learning so much about them. Good luck with that. They bring such joy to this crazy world of ours. Hope you continue to post your experiences on here.
