My warbler list for 09 keeps growing, but the
birding on this bird group has been sporadic for me. Not much on Friday, despite the gorgeous weather, hardly a thing on Saturday, till evening, when the gale force winds subsided. Sunday was better. The weekend added a Magnolia, a Chestnut-sided and a Blackpoll, which puts me into the respectable category for my neck of the warbler woods, so to speak. Also saw, rather than just heard, a Pewee and a Warbling Vireo. All in all, had to work for my birds, but it paid off with a
great weekend of birding. Once again, my
Leica 10x25BL has done all I can ask for any
birding binocular, full-size binocular or compact binocular. Quality does pay when you need that optical muscle.
