    Simple, old-fashioned printed paper "checklist" for American Birding Association count area?

    I am a birder but now mostly a bird photographer. I used to "chase" and, being an old guy by now, I have a decent "life list." But with all of the lumps and splits, I really don't know what my list is. Every once in a while I like to update. I know I can download and print out various life...

    Bucket list bird, the Lovely Cotinga. Where?

    Hello, I am not a 'world lister' and my overall attitude regarding birding (and bird photography) is, "I'm pretty much happy with whatever I see."

    My kingdom for a Nikon Edg 8x42 tethered objective lens cap

    Not really, but I lost one somehow on a trip overseas and now it appears it is, strictly speaking, irreplaceable. I dutifully contacted Nikon in search of a replacement. I feared they would ask me (again) to send the binoculars in for a "free" repair, as they did when I lost one of the thin...

    Is the maker of Benbo tripods still in business?

    I own an old Benbo tripod, the kind with the single handle that controls the positioning of all legs plus the center column. One of the toe points ("feet") broke, and online I found that the current manufacturer of these tripods is Paterson Photographic Equipment, located in West Midlands, UK...
