    Replacement case for 10x42 SE's?

    I've had my 10x42 SE porros for about nine years now. They've survived all kinds of bird trips and even came back to me after I stupidly left them under the front seat of a rental car in Hawaii. I still have the binocs but my luck ran out vis-a-vis the soft case. On my most recent birding trip...

    Lumix DMC-FZ20 vs. DMC-FZ5

    I'm an inveterate gadget freak, I confess, and I've become intrigued by the idea of getting a Panasonic Lumix camera as a "walkaround" and travel camera for when I don't want to take my full DSLR rig. With the 12x Leica zoom lens, it seems like it's possible, at least, to get some decent bird...

    Atlanta area spring migration hot spot?

    Hello, I make regular visits to Atlanta, Georgia, these days to visit my 86-year-old father. My next visit will likely be in late April or early May, dates as yet unconfirmed. As a California birder, one thing I miss is a clearly defined spring migration, particularly anything resembling...

    Who is this beautiful dreamer?

    I hope BF people can help me to solve a mystery. I live in Berkeley, California. Over the past few weeks I have noticed an area of bird droppings on the front steps of my house. Directly above this soiled area is an old metal hook, which is attached to the underside of our front porch...

    Photoshop CS upgrade for $299: Worth it?

    Hello, I have been blithely using Photoshop Elements 2.0 for about eighteen months, mostly in preparing bird photos for printing or for delivery to the web. I received a flyer from Adobe a few days ago offering to allow me to upgrade to Photoshop CS for a "mere" $299, which is a lot less than...

    Mysterious juvenile tern

    This morning I was taking my usual walk with my dog at Pt. Isabel Regional Shoreline in Richmond, California, when we came across this unusual-looking bird standing forlornly on the weedy ground on the bluffs along the San Francisco Bay shoreline. At first I thought it might be a baby Killdeer...

    Where to get binoculars realigned?

    During our recent trip to Hawaii my teenage son managed to smack his Mirador porro prism binoculars sufficiently hard to knock them out of alignment. Last time this happened I sent them to Mirador's facility in southern California. However, I believe they no longer are in operation. I live in...

    Are there still any Eskimo Curlews?

    About sixteen years ago I went to Churchill, Manitoba, as an assistant leader of a group birding expedition. While there, we were told by one of the resident birders (it was a woman whose name I cannot recall) that Canadian Fish and Wildlife knew the location of some nesting Eskimo curlews...

    Niger seed mess--any solutions?

    I've followed the thread relating to seed waste, and I agree that sunflower chips is a good solution, although my goodness, they ARE expensive! I enjoy feeding niger seed to the goldfinches, but they are incredibly sloppy and wasteful. I use a tube with mesh-type feeder and also a net "sock"...

    What will people do when the swivel Coolpixes are gone?

    I consider myself fortunate at the moment since I own a Coolpix 995 for digiscoping (with my Pentax PF80-ED telescope) and I also have squirreled away a 'reconditioned' Coolpix 4500 as insurance for the inevitable day when my beloved 995 goes bye-bye for one reason or another. Pretty soon...
