A great pair of binoculars is essential to any birder. You need to be able to see the birds up close without actually GETTING up close! I spent a lot of time researching them and decided on the Nikon Monarch 8 x 42 as being the best quality I could afford and lightweight as I just can’t carry a larger pair together with my camera and lenses. I was just going through Amazon and noticed they are half price through one of their stores. There are a lot of specs on the page so please click on the image below to see all the details. I hope someone can take advantage of this sale!
