One of my great pleasures in life has been helping people get started in
birding and birdwatching. Nothing quite like sharing your passion and giving a gift that can last a lifetime. Although avid birders like me can be very fussy and demanding when it comes to
birding binoculars it does not mean that everyone needs to spend a fortune like we do when it comes to choosing a
birding binocular. Even a budget binocular will get that beginning birder started, nicely. There is a birding binocular in every price range. Under $100, for instance, you can't go wrong with the
Bushnell 8x42 Natureview Plus or the
Bushnell Legacy WP 8x 42mm These two binoculars may carry a
cheap price, but they have all the essential features for birding.
