Ultravid BL, is it still available? (1 Viewer)

I was looking at a Great Spotted Woodpecker about 30m away. It looked at me, made eye contact then scurried over to the opposite end of the tree trunk to peck away in privacy.

That's been my experience with woodpeckers in the wild. OTOH, I've had chickadees eat sunflower seeds out of my hand. Of course, they were in my wooded backyard, so they saw me every day putting seeds in the feeder. But I was still surprised they were that tame.

To be honest, they look pretty nice and it's the only x32 'BL' I've seen? But $8k ?!??

I could see actually buying those...if I was in a totally different income bracket. Like you said, at least they're nice looking.

Interesting eyepiece design too, they look unlike other Ultravids.

This link reads like internet trash, reposting shallow well-known information with lots of ads and presumably click-through profits from sales links. They can't even decide whether attraction to shiny things relates to courting behavior, food (how?), or "uveitis" which is an eye infection.

Thanks for providing the link. I just read the article on birds attracted to shiny things and I love it. It is very in-depth, and well written and provides a great deal of information on the subject.

Don't thank me, I'm allergic to "inexplicable penchants".
