    Samsung note 4

    I'm not sure if there's a way to turn the auto focus off, but check out the link below for some tips on getting the auto focus to work properly. If that doesn't work, I'm sure there is an "aftermarket" camera app that allows you to turn auto focus off...

    Swarovski or Kowa scope for Digiscoping?

    Hi Mitch, If those are the only two options you are considering, it is tough to choose one or the other. When choosing a spotting scope for digiscoping, more light is always better, so I always choose a larger objective lens. With that said, the cost of the Kowa is about half of what a...

    USA-Possible Snow x Ross's Goose Hybrid in Delaware; suggestions and comments needed.

    I'm not sure if you're looking at the correct bird. In the last photo, the bird is looking straight towards the camera. In the second photo, the bird in question is directly behind the Snow Goose in front.

    I had a possible Snow x Ross's Goose Hybrid along Whitehall Neck Rd. near Bombay Hook NWR this afternoon. The bird showed characteristics of both species. The overall size favored Snow Goose, but the lack of grin patch, smaller/stouter bill, and a limited amount of rusty color on the head...
