Binocular Reviews Added To Site
Part of the reorganization we’re undertaking here at BirdOculars will be the publishing of weekly binocular reviews. With each review, we’ll have a section called “First Look” which will have our general first impressions of the binoculars being reviewed, another section called “Focus On Features” where we’ll give you a breakdown of the most important features for a birder which the binoculars possess and a final section called “The Big Picture” where we’ll give you our honest opinion of the strengths and weaknesses of the the binoculars being reviewed.
Take a look at our first review of Bushnell Legend 10×42 Binoculars to get acquainted with the format and let us know any suggestions you have to make the reviews better for you.
Since the weather has turned colder at night I’ve had this sneaky suspicion I’m being watched every morning. As usual, my chihuahua/yorkie mix, Maggie and I go out before 6 AM. The last few mornings, however, I’ve felt there were eyes on us. I looked around and saw nothing. Then, I looked at my closest bluebird box and I spotted him. The little black and white head with the red spot on top gave him away. I had an overnight tenant. It was one of my downy woodpecker backyard residents. I had seen him looking around before and had actually put some nesting materials in the box to help him out. Apparently, he really appreciated the gesture because I’ve noticed he’s put them to good use plugging up the drafty corners on the floor of the nestbox.
