I will be keeping a log of the birds I see. I have several good Birding Books, which should help me to hopefully identify most of the birds I will see .....

Hopefully I can find a way to connect one of my cameras, perhaps even my smartphone, to a spotting scope to take pictures of birds, whales, sea lions, seals .....

If there's an optic store near you, that's the best way to try them all out. There's quite a range in price. I have the Vortex Razor HD and am very happy with it. I also have the Celestron Hummingbird for traveling and for the size/price it does a good job.
