Birding doesn’t have to be expensive, I went 20 years with a less than 50
dollar pair of bins and didn’t miss anything. It is easy to get expensive
but it shouldn’t be seen as an issue to intimidate those wanting to get in
to birding. No matter what the hobby people are going to go to extremes in
how much money they spend on it. If you have it spend it but don’t look
down on those who don’t have the same gear.
