The weather was unseasonably warm this weekend in the Chicago area and the birds were taking advantage of it. Still seeing some warblers and, of course lots of sparrows and kinglets along the bike trails. In other words, I'm not racking up the miles on the bike, but I am having a blast with the birds. Been using a
Zeiss Victory Compact 8x20 and it's as if this
compact binocular was made for a birder on a bike. It's amazingly light, and one of the easiest compact binoculars, yet, as far as using it one-handed. Optics, of course, are excellent and easily up to the task of serious
birding.
