We have a super Nikon spotting scope with a zoom lens, but you can't always
drag it out for every bird you see.

I need a new tripod because I bent one of the legs of mine and the folks at
Manfrotto won't send me just one leg for much less than the cost of a whole
new tripod.

We have some very old 16x50 Bushnell binoculars. That is a lot of magnification
but I cannot hold them steady enough to make it worth using. The image jiggles
or bounces, and that is a no-no.

I love my 9x32 Denalis because their barrels allow in enough light to give
me a really sharp image. I keep them in the car, on the seat next to me.

When it's cold I wear a warm sweater. When it's hot I bring bottled water.

In Mexico, I take a Spanish-English dictionary.
