Bird watching binoculars are one of the critical pieces of equipment bird watchers carry. When purchasing a pair of binoculars you want to know that you are purchasing the best possible pair.
How does one choose a binocular? The power of the optics is expressed as two numbers, such as 7 x 35. Hunting binoculars should feature some sort of rubberized exterior armoring to protect them from being damaged if dropped or bumped against trees, brush, rocks and so on.
Size matters when one considers the mode of birding. Since they can be slung around the neck on a cord, it s easy to spot the prey and drop the binoculars to pick up the rifle.
One should consider the ergonomics of one's choice. The first number separated by the "x" is the power of the binocular, and means the object being viewed appears to be that number of times closer than you would see without the binoculars. There are models available that allow you to do more than just look.
You'll see everything clearer and you won't want to travel without them. But if you're into astronomy, you'll need a high powered pair.
