    It's summertime in the northern hemisphere, and time for the fledglings to be fed! Gila Woodpecker and Northern Rough-winged Swallow. Sony RX10iv.

    Change to Zeiss SFL 10x40 or stick with my Leicas

    "The thing that always amazes me is how many 'answers' do not answer the actual question but just push someone's fave bin or current opinion." Exactly. On the plus side, we've had a lot of killing, and slaying, and the ever-popular blue ring of death. At least we didn't get to the "orange...

    Change to Zeiss SFL 10x40 or stick with my Leicas

    Poor Mungot. One question 3.5 months, and not heard from since. Forty-five posts later, I wonder if he got anything useful out of it all?

    Phonescoping with ED78/82

    I don't have an ED 82 anymore, but I do phonescope with the similar Monarch 82 ED. PhoneSkope adapter works well, with decent results this of a Great Horned Owl.

    Florida USA (Central FL, Gulf Coast) - Leucistic crow?

    Looks like there's some residual gape flange showing - might be a fledgling. So, the calling birds may be the parents. Just a thought on ID possibility. (How's that for definitive? 😉 )

    Zeiss

    While there are individual variations in optics, I have used extensively two Gavias, and come away disappointed. They couldn't hold a candle to my Nikon Monarch ED 82. At about $1600 US, it should be in your price range. See the thread about the Nikon...

    Mallard (I think)? American Black Duck? Hybrid?

    So, this is from maybe February? Mallards molt into breeding plumage in autumn, don't they? (And as I recall anatid breeding plumage is basic?) I can't comment on any strange hormones, but it's definitely not a Black. I'm in SE AZ, and we see MALL x MEDU all the time, and I don't see any...

    Compact Camera Suggestions? Upgrading from Canon PowerShot SX720 HS

    Andy, I'm sure you'll love the Sony. On the back of the camera, the circular selector has DISP at the top. With the camera on, toggle that until you get the display that suits you.

    Røde VideoMic Me

    In previous posts, I have mentioned this microphone as a small form-factor solution to recording bird sounds. And, I've usually denigrated the recording app which the company recommends - the Røde Reporter. I had found it unreliable, and the sharing feature (pushing to cloud storage) generally...
