New Birder, starting with Merlin App and a set of Zeiss SFL 8x40, SF 10x42 and looking for a set of maybe SF 8x30 or 10x30’s. Also use a Kowa TSN-88a Spotter for digiscopping and recording the Birds and wildlife.

You're a birder? You only need 1 pair of binoculars. If someone is telling you otherwise, then they are most likely a binocular salesman.

And you definitely don't need 3 pairs and a scope. That many different pairs of binoculars will actually make you a worse birder.

Remember I do a lot with Guns, so one set of Bino's is for me, one set is for My wife, and the other I just wanted to see what would be the difference in 10x42 vs 8x32 for day and sunrise/sunset time of day. Spotting scope is for Digiscoping as well as shooting rifles. I understand your point, if they all were just for me, and if they were all for just one purpose. Thanks for the input.

Lots of crows attacking my local raptors, unfortunately they had stopped by the time I got close enough to take photos. This photo was the same location last year...

Hi Sam. I hope that you don't mind me contacting you, and that you actually see this, as it looks like you're not a regular on birdforum. I saw that you were interested in finding a birding guide in San Jose del Guaviare. Did you have any luck and if so do you have any contact info or recommendations.

Best wishes
