High in the Top Ten of birders’ questions is, “What binoculars should I buy?” I just came across a very interesting article by Dan Cooper, formerly on staff at Audubon’s Debs Park Center and now running his own business, Cooper Ecological Monitoring. Many of us know Dan and would trust his advice.

The article was published by the New York Times’ “Wirecutter” section and you can Click Here to see it. NYT subscription not required. I won’t say any more, but his choice is waterproof, close focusing, sharp, and under $300. Worth reading.
