A decade ago, my cousin got me a pair of binocs in the hopes that I will be putting it to some sort of use. However, it took a good 5 years after that for me to started paying closer attention to my surroundings and become an armature birdwatcher. It got an additional boost thanks to a very inspiring boss I worked with. Recently I hit the 200th species of "spotted in the wild" birds. This called for a celebration and in a well timed moved, my handy ol' binoculars decided to go kaput! So voila, I congratulated myself with a really nice pair of Nikon binocs. The first bird spotted with the new pair was a beautiful juvenile black kite! They are absolutely gorgeous!
It's also nice to add 2 more friends to the birdier's club. Cheerios mates!
Here is my list as it stands today:
