Nice trip and nice photos! Especially good to do this with your dad - wish I could have done this with my dad before he passed. Photos and text brought back great memories as I visited each of these locations in March 2011 with my wife. We used entirely all Eagle Optics optical products, of course!!! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the awesome crash course in ‘Binocular Anatomy 101′, Nina! I had never really understood what the many different pieces and parts of a binocular were called so I am glad you shared your perspective. In my experience, binoculars have helped me to spot twice as many birds as I did before. When buying a pair of binoculars, I think that the key factors to consider are size, price, vision, durability and functionality. All of these weigh equally into finding the “perfect” pair. While it can be difficult to determine the right pair of binoculars for you, sites like this one can help! I also recommend checking out the National Audubon Society’s website for more helpful advice.

Dear Don,
Twist-out eyecups are designed to easily twist up and down. They often have intermediary settings, or click-stops, but can’t really be locked in the fully extended position. Still, if they can be pushed in as easily as you described, there may be something wrong with them. You may want to call the manufacturer regarding an adjustment. The phone # for Swift Authorized Repair Center is 713-529-3551.
Thanks for your comment!

I find it frustrating in the descriptions of binoculars on sellers’ websites when they fail to say whether the twist out eye cups stay in a locked position or not. We have one pair, I think Swift Audubon’s, that pop out but when a person without glasses uses them they push right in when looked through. That is very frustrating. When buying binoculars I would want to know if the eye cups stay in position when out and in use!

Comment on Spotting Scopes for Birding by Nina Cheney

Dear Julian,
The Sandpiper Scope has been discontinued. The Nomad is still a nice scope in its price range. The Celestron Regal would be another option under $500. If you’d like to call Eagle Optics, any of the friendly salespeople would be happy to recommend a spotting scope in your price range. Thanks for writing! ~Nina
