| Try looking at Orion - www.telescope.com They have a nice Product Selection Wizard to narrow down your choices and give you some decent explanations of what all the specifications mean. I bought a pair from them and have been very happy with my choice. I just looked on their Website and saw they now have a pair with a camera built in. Sounds neat! |

| If you want a really close-up look at the hummingbirds, consider a window feeder. I use the feeder show in the link below. One of these feeders is placed on the window at the kitchen sink so I have the birds right there when I'm working. However, you should also consider a pair of binoculars just for general bird watching . The Bird Watching site on Nature.Net has a forum devoted to optics; you might want to look over there for suggestions. I have a pair of Zeiss that I really like. However, I'd like to ID butterflies with them, but it's difficult to focus in on anything less than 15' away. |
