It was also a notable sighting in that I currently do not have binoculars! I bought a pair of 10X42 ELs on eBay, which arrived slightly out of alignment. They are being fixed, and I sold my Leicas (to pay for the ELs), so as it stands I am trying to ID stuff by eye or using the $25 Kmart specials which have been sitting in our attic now for many years.

Dude, that sucks. Shipping damage? But never get caught with out bins. I was impressed with a pair of 40 dollar Walmart Bushnells a student I met the other day was using. Really not bad at all, you should hit those up.
ReplyDeleteWell honestly I'm amazed you identified it to genus Putnut. We all know you need all the help you can from expensive gadgets to figure out what kind of avian wonders are flying over your place!
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting me know I should never buy high end optics from eBay. Oh wait, I already knew that.
ReplyDeleteBen- I don't think they were damaged in shipping. But it won't matter either way b/c Swarovski's customer service is so good that it will be covered under the warranty which I also have b/c the seller provided the Eagle Optics (authorized dealer) receipt. So all in all if you do your homework I think it can be a good place to buy them.
ReplyDeleteI was just teasing. Glad Swaro is hooking you up. They hooked me up with a new bino strap for free, and its not even covered by the warranty.
