The first to come were blue jays and woodpeckers - the Hairy and the Downy. Then pretty soon the deer and turkeys came, and the chicadees, nuthatches, and juncos. Suddenly the air is full of movement and it just changes my life. I don't leave home a lot so I have been greatly cheered by their company. How do birds and deer know when there is food out? A little miracle.Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15547916206007733970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8147631697089273467.post-51801058825622162852024-01-20T09:17:59.146-05:002024-01-20T09:17:59.146-05:00We have many of these birds here in SW WI.

They offer a wide field of view of 420 feet at 1000 yards, which is impressive compared to other binoculars in the same class. The image is also very flat and sharp from edge to edge, making them suitable for various outdoor activities, including birdwatching. However, it would be interesting to see how these binoculars perform with <a href="https://www.eurooptic.com/sig-sauer-optics.aspx" rel="nofollow">Sig Sauer Optics</a>. <br />Sig Sauer Opticshttps://www.eurooptic.com/sig-sauer-optics.aspxnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8147631697089273467.post-36846352760101219052024-01-01T09:15:24.757-05:002024-01-01T09:15:24.757-05:00Nice blog thanks foor postingNice blog thanks foor postingEating my Worrieshttps://eatingmyworries.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8147631697089273467.post-51350648737199874862023-12-26T15:10:34.437-05:002023-12-26T15:10:34.437-05:00I'll be looking for that duck report soon.
