I stopped by the Hog Hole earlier today and saw my first Northern Shovelers in Tompkins Co as well as a bunch of other great ducks including Hooded Mergansers, scaup, redhead, bufflehead, ring-necked duck. However, since I don't yet own a scope, I'm sure I missed many more great birds too distant to ID with bins, or my camera's zoo. Does anybody have a recommendation for a decent starter scope? I'm hoping not to break the bank, but I don't want to end up with something crappy either. Any input helps! Thanks in advance! Josh
