Life lists, state/country lists, county lists, yard lists, etc...

I have hit a new level of binocularitis, I began keeping lists for each bin. Help me.

Robert,

No help for you.. you are a birdaholic and a binoculholic. Both are incurable... thankfully. ;)

Best wishes,
Bawko

I think it would be useful for those who can choose from different types of binoculars to keep day lists, and visit the same spot a number of times with different sorts of binoculars, so as to work out what power really is best for a given situation. I plan to do this myself with 7x42, 8x30, 8.5x44 and 10x40 in a while, but I am still working on whether it makes sense to visit forests in the morning and waterside spots in the evening (so far I seem to be finding out that waterside spots benefit from morning visits as well, because if you aren't hypnotised by the water in front of you you can also find birds in the hedgerows and trees behind you).

Good points, A.G. I think insights on that subject would be most welcome since different configurations must surely be most beneficial for different tasks/situations.
