 The Birding Pack Binoculors, spotting scope, with tripod, notepad and field guides are the major things required for bird watching. Cameras of various size and focal length are an inseperable part of Bird Watching. There are top notch Binoculors like Zeiss Victory FL 8x32 and Nikon Premier 10X42. There are certain things one should count before buying a binocular - easy to handle and lightweight, good focus even with one hand, true colors, good for both feeders and butterflies, closing as close as 18 inches (thats the closest you can get), smooth focus knob, fast focus, bright, sharp and free from fringing. On the top of all the binocular should have generous warranty service. Tripods are the supporters for birdwatcing cameras, are usually a little heavy to stop the disturbances from air, but are light enough to be carried from one place to another.One should compare the height of the tripod with himself as a tripod usually fits the users height. Avoid tripods with centre columns adjusted to cranks as they usually make noise. Monopods are useful only with still cameras or video cameras. The Scopes make for the main equipment for bird watching. Brightness, waterproof, mettalic, resolution, apertures, compact, light, maneuverable are the main features one should be looking for while buying a spotting scope.
