    What's your most used binocular?

    I started birdwatching with old Bushnell 7x35 binoculars, then moved on to Nikon Prostaff 8x42s, then the Monarch 5 10x42s that I use regularly. I also use Vortex Diamonback HD 10x42.

    Vortex tripods?

    Only for information, did you notice that the entire range of Vortex tripods had switched from "Velbon" heads to Arca-compatible heads with single-arm locking? From my point of view, the handles are a bit short.

    Arca swiss compatible Tripod head for birding with single control for pan/tilt/locking

    Hello everyone, I know this is an old discussion, but I want to start it up again because I was looking for a single-arm pan/tilt head compatible with Arca plates. I realized that the whole range of Vortex tripods had gone from "Velbon" type heads to Arca-compatible heads with single-arm...

    Woodpeckers causing power outages in Ireland

    This video is in French, but the images clearly show the problem linked to the Woodpecker. It is mentioned that 100,000 posts have been damaged by the Woodpecker and 12,000 must be replaced...

    AOS NACC/SACC taxonomic committee governance and structures (no discussions on patronyms)

    I don't know about the future, but with the death of Canadian technical advisor Normand David, the Classification and Nomenclature Committee (NACC) has unfortunately lost a great deal of expertise. On the other hand, Birds Canada and Québec Oiseaux send a press release announcing that they...

    Why are there so few x9 binoculars?

    In my part of Canada, regarding 9x, what is available (at least most visible) in stores are the Pentax (Ricoh) SD 9X42 WP open bridge binoculars, an inexpensive model .

    Current fuss in North America about eponymous English bird names

    Are there eponymous bird names in all languages? There don't seem to be many in German?

    Current fuss in North America about eponymous English bird names

    It's not easy to insert ourself into a discussion that has been going on for six months, but I will take the liberty of informing you that the «Helm Dictionary of Scientific Bird Names» is available in pdf here: http://www.avesdecostarica.org/uploads/7/0/1/0/70104897/scientific-bird-names.pdf

    Lot of models in Vortex binoculars!

    I use Nikon Monarch 7 and Vortex Diamondback binoculars and prefer my Diamondbacks. The grip is better for me and the wheel is less rigid.

    Nikon Monarch HG 8X30 vs Nikon Monarch 7 8x30

    If you are considering the purchase of Monarch HG binoculars, you must now consider the arrival of the Monarch M7 (different from the Monarch 7) which offers practically the equivalent at a lower cost.

    Monarch M7+ 8x30

    As a reminder, the old model is named “Monarch 7” and the new generation is named “Monarch M7”. It is available in 8x30 for around $600 CAD and the Monach HGs seem to be twice the price from what I see in stores. Considering the comments appearing on the forum, it seems that it is more...

    Best Lenses for Busy City Bird Photography?

    The best choice would probably be to use a "Bridge" type camera. I suggest you look for the Sony RX10 IV which is an excellent choice. In this group, there are many models available in different price ranges.
