This past weekend I went to Eustace, Texas and stayed with my mom at a friend’s lakehouse. It was absolutely beautiful and completly peaceful. I wanted to do only one thing- REST. So for 2 days we watched movies, slept, and my mom and I spent a great amount of time looking through these awesome Nikon Binoculars Action EX Extreme 10×50.
Both of us could use them soooo well. I’m 5′6” and my mom is barely 5′ so that’s saying alot =) The eye distance was easy to set and the diopter was already in focus. They were super comfortable in my hands and could be held for relatively long period of time. The birds we saw were all bright images and the focus was easy to adjust. I looked through them so often I think at the end of the day I looked a bit like a racoon =) We had fun birding without kids running around scaring them away =)
These are the birds we spied with our little eyes(and binoculars =)): Great Egret, Great Blue Heron, Mallard Ducks, Cooper’s Hawk, Forster’s Tern, Killdeer, Turkey Vulture, lots of Bluejays and Ravens, Black-capped Chickadees, Eastern Bluebirds, Red-bellied Woodpecker, Scissor-tailed Flycatchers, Double Crested Cormorants and last but not least on our way home without the aid of binoculars lots and lots of Cattle Egrets. We used the National Geographic Field Guide to the Birds of North America, Fifth Edition
