    What type of dark-eyed junco?

    There are three pictures in my gallery of a dark-eyed junco that has been visiting my feeder in north central Missouri. I was curious if anyone had any idea on what type of junco it may be. I thought "Oregon" but it seems like it may be a "Cassiar's". Any more input?

    Vortex Sidewinders

    Has anyone been able to compare these binoculars to others like Nikon Monarchs, Zeiss, Swaros, etc? There are some people on another forum claiming that the Sidewinders are not noticeably different than the high end bins and I'm finding it hard to believe. I've looked around the web and...

    s9000 teleconverters?

    Does anyone know if the S9000 is threaded for teleconverters? It doesn't seem that the wide angle converter fits the camera but I was wondering if anyone who owned or has seen one knew. Thanks.

    Swarovski prices?

    How much are Swarovski scopes/binoculars if one were to buy them in Austria? I know someone that has a relative traveling there and is wondering if there is any price break in buying them there and bringing them back to the US. Thanks.

    Nikon Monarch 10x42

    I had to share my excitement somewhere. I got a pair of 10x42 Monarchs last night and am excited to use them. They looked really good in the store and fit me better than the Wind River Cascades. I have to wait until Saturday to give them a good outdoor use though. Definitely a step up from...
