[cayugabirds-l] Angled Vortex Spotting Scope for sale

[Pranic Living]

I am selling a gently used Vortex *angled* scope which I bought in 2016. I
am the second owner, it was purchased at Optics Planet and has been since
discontinued: http://www.opticsplanet.com/vortex-viper-hd-20-60x80-spotting-
scopes.html


PRICE: Selling price is $500 including the field glasses and a neoprene
protective cover, tripod *not* included. I estimate the *body* cost was
about $700 new *without* the field glasses.  You can buy a sturdy tripod
for $100 here:
https://www.opticsplanet.com/celestron-heavy-duty-az-tripod.html


UNLIMITED LIFETIME WARRANTY: Read the link above for the Unlimited Lifetime
Warranty. I was told the company is wonderful to deal with should you ever
need a service or repair (at no charge). Nothing is wrong with it. I used
it on an overseas trip for a raptor count and love it, but I do not use it
enough to warrant keeping it.


I am in Ithaca, NY. Paypal or cash.

Sandy

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Diving Mallard Video

[Kyle Gage]

I remember watching mallards diving at a park or water treatment plant in 
Cortland back in the 1980’s. Water was crystal clear & they would go to the 
bottom about 10’-15’ down.

[Peter Saracino]

Interesting Dave
I wonder how deep the water IS there. Also do you have a sense from your
experience as to how long they can stay under?

[cayugabirds-l] Diving Mallard Video

[Dave K]

I've seen Mallards diving along the Cayuga Lake SP shore this season, maybe 
more than usual, maybe not.
Yesterday I had a chance to watch one diving at Oak Island in Waterloo.
The Mallard flock gathers around a Hen with a visible, bright speculum (top 
left of video) that is diving for food.
If diving is a learned behavior the 100 other Mallards aren't getting it and 
she's the only one eating.
The melee continues until the Domestics move in and break it up.
