The staff at the Forest History Center in Grand Rapids asked me to post the
following question. They are developing a program to introduce youths to
birdwatching. Does anyone have any recommendations on binoculars appropriate
for this? They should be durable, somewhat light, easy to use, present a
decent image, and be easy to train on a bird! They are planning on obtaining
about 15 pairs and hope to spend under $70/pair if possible. What type of
optics to the MOU Youth Mentorship Program kits contain? Is it possible for
the Forest History Center to obtain one of these kits?
Also, what would be an appropriate field guide for kids? I suppose there would
be a range of ages, so let's say sixth grade. (Recommendations for younger
kids are welcome as well.)
Thanks!Shawn Conradhttp://users.2z.net/itasca_chippewa_birding/
