    Mongolia, May 2023

    Looking for another birder to join group for trip beginning 4 May and ending 19 May. Starts and ends in Ulaanbaatar. Price 2100 GBP. As I will be gone for most of the next month it might be best to contact DMW author of the Budget Saudi Arabia who has all the details. Peter

    Kowa Service

    Around two weeks ago I sent in my TSN-824 to have the gummy surfaces of the prism housing and sun shade cleaned/repaired. That was all I asked to have done. The objective did have some very old scratches and I sent in the eyepiece as well thinking they might just check it out for cleaning. I...

    Photographic Field Guide to the Birds of India...

    Did I miss discussion of this book (ISBN 0691176493)? I had an extremely quick look at it yesterday and came away with one overriding impression--very large and extremely heavy. Peter

    Woodpeckers

    I can't recall seeing it posted here previously (my apologies if it has) but there's a relatively newly published book on North American woodpeckers. It is the "Peterson Reference Guide to North American Woodpeckers" by Stephen A. Shunk ISBN: 978-0618739950. Reviews have been very positive so...

    Southern California Pelagic

    The pelagic trip of the previous post (17 May) has been cancelled. If anyone is interested in a last minute change the 16 May trip out of San Diego should be a go. Information follows: This popular 12-hour trip goes to the farthest reaches of San Diego County waters—the 30-Mile Bank—to look...

    16 May Pelagic Trip from San Diego

    This popular 12-hour trip goes to the farthest reaches of San Diego County waters—the 30-Mile Bank—to look for seabirds only occasionally or rarely seen in San Diego County (may very briefly bird in L.A. Co. waters). This is an excellent time of year for such sought-after species as Black-footed...

    New Zeiss Victory SF thread

    My apologies for starting a new thread on a much discussed topic but the previous one(s) have gotten off topic, are often unintelligible, are from people who have never seen or used the product, are feeble attempts at humor and have become in large part just plain drivel. I know it's only...

    Cabela's Instinct Euro HD/Meopta S2

    As has been pointed out these two scopes appear to be virtually identical, but there is at least one difference apart from the badging. Perhaps I missed it in other threads but the Cabela's version comes only with the 20-70 zoom eyepiece and it is fixed, not attached with a bayonet fitting. It...

    Kruger Optical

    I recently purchased the Kruger Caldera 10X42 from another Birdforum member. I did so without trying the model out beforehand. Unfortunately they, like many recent model binoculars, did not fit my face. The problems seems to stem from the gargantuan eyecups and the IPD. Among other things...

    New South American Field Guide

    "Field Guide to the Songbirds of South America: the Passerines" by Ridgely and Tudor is apparently now available. According to data provided by the University of Texas Press there are around 1500 species illustrated and 2000 species accounts. Has anyone actually seen the book or better have...
