It's time for some citizen science! |
The Great Backyard Bird Count kicks off soon! Have you picked your observing spot? |
Spend Valentine's weekend showing some love to our feathered friends by taking part in the Great Backyard Bird Count! Over a period of four days beginning Feb. 14, hundreds of thousands of birdwatchers — both avid and casual — will grab their notepads or birding apps and head outside to take part in this global citizen science initiative, which was launched in 1998 by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and the National Audubon Society. To learn more about the event and how to participate, check out our latest blog post here! |
Want to know more about birding binoculars? |
When you're on a birdwatching adventure, a nice binocular is always great to have on hand to see those small details that may help with identification. There are many attributes to consider when selecting a pair of birding binoculars. However, one commonly overlooked spec is close focus!
So, what is close focus? It is a measurement of the closest you can be to a subject and still maintain a clear focus that delivers sharp details. It's a specification that means quite a bit to birders because their subjects often pop up close by, and having to step back to get a blur-free view can mean losing track of the target or causing it to flutter away. Ideally, a good birding binocular will have a close focus of 10 feet or less. If you can snag a binocular with a close focus of 5 feet or less, it can do double duty as a great aid to see delicate details in butterflies and smaller insects!
Read our latest blog post to learn more about birding binocular basics and to see some recommendations from some of the most popular product lines available through Explore Scientific! |
