The ABA’s Birders’ Exchange: Optics for a cause
As our migrating birds begin their journey to their wintering grounds to the south, I wonder: how many of us know where they go, and who will appreciate them when they get there? A large percentage of the songbirds we love are heading for Central America, South America, and the Caribbean. And [...]

How does optical glass enhance binocular image quality?
High-grade glass offers a more clear, vivid image than standard glass
The optical glass used in a binocular affects the quality of the image you see through it. The objective lens of a binocular refracts or bends light, directing it to a focal point at some distance behind the lens of the binocular. Each color [...]

Last weekend, a group of us did a 12-mile section of [...]
What do the numbers in a binocular name mean?
The numbers on a binocular describe its configuration. Let’s take 8×42 binoculars as an example. The first number (8) refers to the magnification, or, how many times closer an object will appear when looking through the binocular compared to looking at the same object with the naked eye. The second number (42) indicates the diameter [...]
It Seems (a little) Like Spring!
Winter is slowly loosening its grip on Wisconsin. This year, we’ve had to wait longer than usual, it seems, rescheduling outdoor events, refraining from packing away winter clothes, and hastening out with binoculars to birdwatch and get our hands in the soil between raindrops and wind blasts.
