Wednesday, September 20, 2006Monoculars for birding
It was a beautiful autumn like morning here in the northwest suburbs of Chicago, but, unfortunately, I was spending it stuck in traffic like everyone else. As I glanced over to some trees along the shoulder, though, I happened to spot some birds flitting from branch to branch. Their movements announced they were warblers, but which ones?
Most people would have to let it go at that, but not an optics nut like me. I reached in my purse and pulled out my handy Nikon 5x15 HG monocular, and turned it toward the birds. As I suspected, they were warblers and my guess of Yellow-rumped warblers was even verified. I had seen many of them over the weekend. Maybe I should think about taking a day off to catch up on my birding. After all, many of these species won't be back until spring. Comments: |
