I hope you get rid of your worms. That doesn't sound like fun. )-: 18 pills at 112.00 did the job.

I have some 10x42 binocolors.Those are good..when you are looking at warblers and comparing/ contrastingat 40 feet they help. The 10 x 42 narrows your field of view but the image ismagnified more...When i buy birding optics I look to see ifI can make out something at 12 foot.If I can'tI don't buy them. Not high end, but they seem to work ok. If I find I get into birding or using my binocolors alot I will get some nicer ones. Do you have a bird ID book that you recommend? For a first book..I love the Peterson's Guide To Eastern/ Central Birds. All book stores got it. About 20.00 nice size for carrying.

The pro birders carry the Sibley's Guide to Birding. 35.00 I have one.Teh advantage. Some birds change the color of their plumage throughout the 4 seasons.Sibley's has the bird in all 4 seasons..The water colored pictures are not as good as Peterson's ...Also..Sibleys has every bird in the USA.

Example..a goldfinch is not black and yellow like a Peterson shows it right now. They only come to Florida for a couple of weeks in Dec...He is now a light buffish brown colored..So an inexperienced birder would not know he was looking at a gold finch..Many of our warblers are like that as well. A bald eagle doesn't get a white head until his third year..Sibleys show the bird in all of his different plumages.

Good luck next week.
Thanks man..I fish the weekends and hunt the week when there are less hunters..Specks are biting.

Cheers,
Chris
