    Digiscoping trip

    Wildside is now offering a digiscoping workshop at Pico Bonito Lodge in Honduras. I definitely want to get back to Central America this year, and this may have just convinced me: http://wildsidenaturetours.com/tours/honduras-leica-digiscoping/ The accommodations actually look pretty swanky...

    Warbler ID from NJ, USA

    I took this picture at Cape May Point State Park last month (August). I'm stumped. The bill color is throwing me off, and the lack of a full "necklace" and eye ring tells me it's not a Canada Warbler. Can anyone help? Thanks! http://www.flickr.com/photos/billysbirds/4951454632/...

    ID Help! Reno/Tahoe area

    Don't all Chipping Sparrows have black bills? Plus, the eye stripe seems to have more rufuous than black in it. Cooper's Hawk makes sense. My outdated guide doesn't have a juvie picture so I wasn't sure about the throat streaking. Can't believe all those are Brewer's - ha! Thanks. Can...

    Cheap spotting scope

    Thanks for the info guys. I really would rather get a nicer pair of bins (probably between 1500-2000) than a spotting scope as I also usually have my camera with me (Nikon D80 with a 200-500mm lens). I'd still like a scope to have for certain things but I think the camera/bins combo will...

    Cheap spotting scope

    Hey everyone, Short story: I am spending a bunch on new binoculars and there's no way I can afford a nice scope for a long, long time. I'd still like SOMETHING to have with me, though. How is this deal? http://www.scopeaday.com/ Magnacraft 20-80x70 This water resistant scope features an...
