    Vortex Razor Digiscoping Adapter

    I have a Vortex Razor Digiscoping Adapter Kit that I would like to sell. Comes as new with 6 adapter rings and the scope adapter in original box. The scope part is about 56mm diameter so it may well fit other scope models - I don't know. The instruction book talks about how to use it with a P&S...

    Vortex Viper Line Changing?

    Yes indeed, the original 6X32 Vipers were discontinued some time ago. There are still a few listed as NEW on eBay but, the sellers are not dummies and prices are upwards of $600! If you love these glasses and are looking to replace or have a spare, there's your chance. They have been replaced...

    Review by 'wihakowi' on item '10x30 IS'

    Got these several years ago when my tremors were acting up and they were a godsend for not being able to hold my bins steady. IS works very well once you are used to keeping the button down. Optics are OK, not up to alpha grade but with the IS as compensation, they performed very well. They do...

    Review by 'wihakowi' on item 'Vortex Viper HD 6x32'

    These are great little binos from Vortex. As stated above, images are clear and colors accurate. They are built very stoutly, if a bit heavy and somehow "clunky". I also own the Swarovski 6X32s and I'm spoilt by their HD build AND light weight and svelte design! Can't go wrong except ... Vortex...

    Review by 'wihakowi' on item 'EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM'

    Sold a 70-200 2.8 II w/2X and a Tamron 150-600 in order to get this lens. Haven't regretted it for a minute. Paired with the Canon 7D II, it's a dream. IQ better than old model and approaches 70-200. Quick to focus, especially at its native focal lengths. With 1.4X TE attached, ever so...

    Accomodation Padre Island

    If you want to go west just a bit ((even better birding?), you might try the Alamo Inn in, of all places, Alamo, Texas. Birder owned and very bird-centric - they organize guides for you and even an optics shop on-site. http://www.alamoinnbnb.com/ Tell them Steve from Estero sent you.

    Nikon ED Fieldscope info sought

    I have an older Nikon ED Fieldscope (20-45X 60mm) plus Manfrotto Tripod (718B) I am looking to sell. Any thoughts out there on what it might be worth? Pictures attached. TIA Steve

    Birding Campground? Florida!!

    Thanks for the great responses so far! We are pretty familiar with the quantity of parks in FL, particularly south. What we are looking for, I would say, is something a little quieter and subdued than parks which get a bit rowdy on the weekends. Not that I don't like families and airplanes - I...

    Birding Campground? Florida!!

    This may be an odd request for information and input. We are looking for a campground (RV park) where we can stay for the remainder of winter 2012 that is "immersed in" or very near good birding. We are a bit spoiled after many winters in Mexico and the Lower Rio Grande Valley of TX. There, we...
