RE: [cayugabirds-l] Spotting scope question

2020-04-28 Thread Gone

My wife and I use straight 60x  80mm scopes, hers is a Vortex Optics Viper HD 
and mine is a  Clestron Ultima 80  with a BAADER PLANETARIUM  Hyperion zoom 
8-24 mark III eyepiece. I found my Celestron lacking after looking through my 
wifes Viper with the ED glass so I added the BADDER eyepiece to mine which made 
a world of difference putting my scope on par with hers. We found the angled 
scopes did not work for us because looking in a close tree the angle was good 
but the field of view was limited so our 10x42 and 12x42 binos worked just fine 
for that. Another reason for straight, for us, is that we scope more than 75% 
of the time with car window mounts and the angled scope will not work for that.

Hi folks. I'm in the market for a relatively inexpensive (but halfway 
decent)spotting scope (straight barrel), and am wondering if anyone out there 
can recommend one.

Thank you.

Pete Sar

Incredible the online things that exist to help us better understand the 
natural world. They make the teaching of concepts a thousand times easier and 
more fun than they use to be!
Happy New Year!

Thanks Peter! Previously I used to use the map link you sent. But the one I 
sent was colorful so I fell in love with this windmap. It is amazing how sharp 
is the demarcation in both versions. I thought it was a front, but as you 
mention I too  have never seen anything so clearly dividing the country. I 
think it is an unusual front. 

I would keep watch to see how it changes over time!

 

I am always fascinated by the wind energy!

 

Cheers

Hi Everyone,

 

Since I first reported the eagles on the nest on February 13, I have checked
the nest four times and each time the one adult was holding tight on the
nest. Today, the second adult was perched  nearby.  Hope to be able to
report increased activity in a week or so as an indication they are feeding
young.  could somebody share with me what the normal incubation time is for
eagles?

 

I've noticed that the crows seem to keep to the other side of the river.
Probably not a coincidence.
