It's actually some of the most fun I have with optics. There is always something worth looking at on that deck and down below in the yard are feeders that right now can have a dozen lesser goldfinches and house finches at the feeders among many others. But I love to scan vast distances and always have as long as I can remember. I spent a lot of my youth backpacking in the high desert with some 7x21 Nikon Sprints that I miss to this day. (but they now are doing the same things with a younger friend of mine) Scoping vast distances captures my imagination. Peaking in on something that has no idea you are even looking, miles away, is really fun and imagining yourself in a place miles out from where you stand holds an attraction that I'm sure started back in my childhood fantasies. I can't wait to get my first peek through these guys. I feel like a kid waiting for Santa to show Xmas morn. I guess that kid still lives inside this 60+ year old frame.
