    Juvenile Coopers? Southern California

    Sorry for the newbie question, but I have a tough time identifying hawks and I want to get it right before I log it on eBird. Observed this afternoon in a residential area about 40 miles inland from Los Angeles and 5 miles south of the San Gabriel foothills. Thanks!

    Song Sparrow? Southern California

    Hi All, I was on a hike this afternoon and spotted this small bird flitting around on the ground and in the underbrush of a mixed live oak canyon at about 2,500 ft elevation in the local foothills.

    I was recently comparing 10x30 bins and 8x32 bins by mounting them on a tripod and viewing UPC labels and small text on various food containers from a distance of about 30 ft, going back and forth several times. In all cases the 10x binos were able to read finer text and separate more closely...

    Improvements to Zeiss Victory 8x32 FL T*

    Hi All, I found a used 8x32 FL T* and am trying pin down when it was made and how it might differ from the current version. I see two main differences from new: - The eyecups appear relatively straight-sided, where the new eyecups are more rounded - The body lacks the "Victory FL" relief...
