Just do some comparison viewing and buy the best you can afford. Nothing's more frustrating than not seeing a beautiful well when everyone else is raving about it. Good binoculars last forever. After 10 years, I figure my $2,000 Ultravids have cost me a penny a bird. </div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1431697560280_63007"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1431697560280_63007" dir="ltr">Glad Minnesota has so many migrants now.
