Hi, Since you already have some general purpose binoculars all you need is a cheap pair of binoculars that will probably remain in one room -- your kitchen -- all their life. Given your needs a pair of Leicas or Saworskis, even if you could pay for them out of "pocket change" would be overkill in the extreme. Start at the other end of the scale with Tasco's and work your way up -- if necessary. That being the case go visit your local camera store, K-Mart, Wal-Mart, etc and find a pair of $39.00 Tasco's or similar. One reason they are cheap is that they aren't very powerful -- which is what you want. Take them home and try them out. If they solve your problem -- great, if not, try something more expensive. regards Jerry Gitomer SusanC wrote in message <37A9D843.D4C538E2@nospam.please>... |I have a birdfeeder, hummingbird feeder, and birdbath all about 10 feet from my kitchen |window.
