    My tablet dilemma

    A few years ago, I realized the best way to reduce my kit was to exchange my guidebook for an app on a mobile device. I could use a smart phone, but I prefer the larger format of a tablet. The cheapest option was an Amazon Fire 8HD combined with the Sibley app. The app is glorious. The tablet...

    I recently returned to Boston after decades in Los Angeles. So the life list got a boost! I recently went to the shore and got 3 more in a day, reaching 349. It got me enthused again and I started surfing about, wondering what to go for for the 350th. And then, lo and behold, a new bird appeared...

    Good price on Pentax ED's

    Opticsplanet (I've never bought anything from them before, I know there are pros and cons on the net) is having a sale on the Pentax ED spotters. In particular, the price on the 80 ED-a with SMC zoom is :) Not sure what the protocol on mentioning vendors is, so I will leave it at that. JG
