Whooo

Wow...remarkable image. Beautiful. Never saw that before!

What kind of set-up are you carrying through the forest?

Vortex Fury 6.5x32 would meet all your needs. Vortex makes nice products and provides lifetime no fault warrantee ($159)

Leupold Yosemite 6x32 is great glass for ~$100. Light weight, excellent brightness and clarity. Very highly recommended. This is my favorite feeder-watch binocular. Use (some of) the extra money and buy her a field guide to go with it.

Remember, it's not about the power! 10x will give her headaches with the jittery view. Would in no way exceed 8x for her or for this use.

Nice photos, Lee.

?Grebe?

I wonder why the sporting goods store is defunct.

Looks like a European Starling in adult breeding plumage. See allaboutbirds dot org, search on this species, and look at pic on lower left of page. Hoping Hans' gentrification project is working out.
