Thinking about my time in Tucson watching Hummingbirds in my front yard and watching Dragonflies growing up, I have been thinking about low powered binoculars. While I generally think about high-powered spotting scopes and binoculars for far away things, the reality is a pair of bins for use in my yard might be a good option since I would likely use them a lot more than my expensive 'big' binoculars.
Who uses ~6.5 power binoculars? Where do you use them and for what? When do you wish you had something else?
Would Kowa BD II 6.5x32mm binoculars be a good option for this type of use at a modest cost? With a 525' FOV at 1,000 yards, it has a really generous FOV for close up views of an insect flitting about or a bird that is on a tree branch by a front porch.
Other thoughts? TIA!
