    Nikon Monarch 7 vs. Nikon Monarch HG

    Not to beat a dead horse here, but I currently own a pair of Nikon Monarch 7 10x42's and am tempted to upgrade to Monarch HG 10x42's.

    Fledgling ID? - UK

    Sadly I don't think "One-Eyed Willie" is going to make it. Looks like he fell out of a nest into the creek. He was soaked and could not fly and looks to only have one eye. Any ID ideas? I thought starling, but the bill is too yellow?
