    buying my first binocs

    yeah, I got a pair :) Bought em from Amazon.com. theyre 16x32 (a bit high, I realize), but they work great. Nice and compact, and only $20. I really like em :) Now to get a digital camera... (that might have to wait for X-mas tho *lol*). They did spot an unknown bird for me :D (later identified...

    Indiana Bird ID help?

    I was looking through my new binocs today, and I noticed a bird perching on the roof of our mini barn. I dont recall ever seeing this bird before. It was white from its chin to its tail, and dark grey from the top of its bill to the end of its tail. The white part didnt extend to its face or...

    buying my first binocs

    Some of those (like the Nikons) look good. I do wear eyeglasses though. And I really dont want anything bulky. When I was younger, my uncle gave me an old pair of binocs. I believe they were standard size, and they were heavy! My arms and hands started shaking after a few minutes from trying to...

    Vireo?

    *sigh* I wish I had a camera to take a picture (I hope it comes back today)... Theres a bird out there now that I can tell is a winterized Goldfinch, and I can say confidently that the bird I saw yesterday is not the same. Theres a definate difference in size and markings.

    buying my first binocs

    Im really only going to be using em for backyard birding, so I dont mind if theyre not high-powered or anyhting. I want something compact and -cheap- (cheap to me is $50 or less, anything over that is not an option right now). I was looking at the Bushnell site, and I like the looks of some of...

    Vireo?

    I dont think its a goldfinch, mainly because it didnt have white wingbars like goldfinches, and its bigger (goldfinches are about 4 1/2-5", this bird had to be at least 6"). My bf had a pair of goldfinches in his backyard over the summer, and they were pretty small compared to this one. And the...

    Help with Moroccan bird ID?

And sorry if you got the page that said my pic had been deleted, I was trying to edit it so you could see the bird better, I must...

    Vireo?

    I just saw a new bird at my feeder, one Ive never seen before :) The first thing I noticed was its yellow underparts, from the chest down to its belly. I couldnt see if under the tail was white or some other color cause it was in shadow, and hanging on my thistle sock feeder. The top was olive...

    Help with Moroccan bird ID?

    I went to Morocco some weeks ago and took a picture of a small bird (its difficult to see, but I only had a disposable and the bird was up on a wall ledge...) http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a125/Ksgoddess/FH000018_edited.jpg And I think it looks like a House Bunting... (second pic from...
