A community for people who like birds, birdwatching and birding in general!

Feel free to share your photos and other birding-related content here. If a photo you post isn't yours, please credit the original creator! Additionally, it would be appreciated if the location of the sighting and a date were given when a photo or question is posted. You do not have to give the precise location, something like "Northern Idaho, June 2023" or even "North-Western US, June 2023" suffices.

Same as others, I use my normal 8x42 pair, but I only have the one pair anyways

Same ones I use every day, my 10x42s

I will shamelessly drag my 8x42 with me everywhere if I have a backpack or shoulder bag to stash it in. If you’re taking them on a flight it’s better to keep it in your carry on, to ensure they’re treated gently.
