I need it explained in simple, easy-to-understand language. Perhaps explain the differences as to roof prism, porro prism, wide angle, degree of angle, what the X's stand for, as I don't know how to look for a tiny waterproof pair which brings things way up close to use on a boat or for birdwatching. Perhaps a certain brand and type can be suggested? I believe Bushnell are suppose to be very good but are they pricey because of the name? I look a lot of Nikons and wonder if they may be the best buy? (I am leary of Olympus because they have so many remanufactured products out there). Any and every suggestions and info will be much appreciated. Thank you. Also, please explain the field of view, angle of view and if some can be attached onto a tripod without an adapter. And, should I look for fogfree lenses only? Would ATB (allterrain) ones be best because they are more durable?

I want to include this but I don't know in which section (and how): -Participated in the workshop "Theory and Practice in banding birds and mist netting", organized by the CENAA (National Banding Centre) -Took course on birdwatching conducted at the Facultad de Ciencias Naturales y Museo (I'm from Argentina, that's why it's in Spanish) Should both go below "Experience"? Or below "Education"? Or below another section? Thanks!

I couldve swore these were disney movies but I'm not positive looking through the lists of disney movies. One is of a girl who wore a pink skirt, and later died and got the help of some teenage boy, visiting him in highschool and only he could look her. I'm pretty sure this is in the same film, but theres a scene where a girl is spying and claims to be "birdwatching" when a cop comes up to her. I think this is the boys sister. The other film i don't remember well, but it was either a kid made a robot or it was an alien that walked around destroying stuff. Im pretty sure it was an alien, sent to Earth as their world was destroyed. But if I remember correctly there was a big robot thing that shot stuff. I look a car scene and a sign, the robot or whatever had vision to detect targets... I don't know. I don't think it was animated. I'm sure it wasn't Iron Giant though. Thanks for the first find though XD.

Now that the market is so unstable and, as always, run and supported by brain-dead zombies from the planet "Washintonius 5", should I make direct investments into private companies like Wings Birding Tours or some birding lodge deep in the Amazon basin?

Hello every birdwatchers, I have been thinking of writing a birdwatching program for free use online. Basically, you could enter information about sightings and whatnot. You could upload pictures you took and attach them to your sightings, and browse a database of pictures and information to identify birds. Any suggestions for the ideal birdwatching program? Best answer will be awarded to the most complete and well-explained feature list, but I would like to hear every suggestions!

1. why once every week I receive sick at nighttime? it's been starting since schools over. 2. why I keep jumping to interest? when I'm interesting in something, then a little sample of the other show up, I quickly jumps into that, because when I was interested in deep sea creatures, now trees interest me, now birds, now wicca. right now I'm interesting in birdwatching and wicca, how can I cease this? RYS, I don't smoke weed, I'm 13 year old okay? and back off, I would never taste one of those stupid drugs

Okay, it was just a little idea. I figured out how to make hummingbird feeders from soy sauce bottles. They work great, cost next to nothing, blah blah. I put some pictures up on MySpace, and posted my idea in a birdwatching forum. Pictures! And I still got stupid questions! One person wrote and told me that his feeders were so much better than mine. Is it me? Am I just a lousy communicator, or is there something about new ideas that people have difficult times with? Now the Big Idea. Both my site, www.geocities.com/carjug and Bob's site, www.phondot.com contain the same idea for helping people read, simply make the text easier to decode. Neither of us has had much luck communicating this idea, which works just fine. Does the same principle apply? Do people need to have ideas presented in a certain way, or ... Am I asking the wrong question?

I'm looking to buy a new bird guide. I need one tiny enough to carry with me when I go birdwatching but big enough to contain a good amount of info regarding the habits of the birds. I live on the East coast of the US, if that helps. So, what are your favorite bird guides? Which would you say is the best?

I was hoping there was a specific section but there is not (I'll suggest it). Pet birds isn't really right so I suppose zoology is my next best bet?

Later this Summer, I am going to give up using the internet for anything but schoolwork and occasionally looking up restuarants and shops. I want to spend more time outside, with family, learning new things. A few events that have happened recently have made me wish I spent more time with certain people. And I really wish I could change that. The past year has gone so quick, and I don't feel like I acheived that much. I realised that I spend hours a week, not even on MSN, which I don't possess, doing pointless things on the internet. And have realised that I was perfectly glad in my childhood, when I barely knew how to log on. And so were my parents, and their parents and theirs too,.. So I am going to spend time out on bike rides, seeing friends face to face, swimming, riding.. It's light in the evenings, it's warmer every day, and there are so many beautiful things to look at this time of year. Heck, I am half way towards thirty!!! I won't be a child for much longer, so I am going to spend every Summer being childish. I don't want a modern childhood to remember. My question is, what do you remember doing when you were younger to keep yourself occupied. I never use mobile phones anyway. I need some new ideas of how to fill my time, I want a more enriched life. Learning to cook better, birdwatching, whatever. New hobbies, past-times, time-fillers.. I think I would be happier if I didn't spend every this time inside. What did you do when you were longer, before the cyber boom? xx *When you were younger? by the way, I am a teenager living in English countryside, but I can receive the bus to the city/into town Nicholas, the horse idea couldn't be moer appropriate. My grandparents possess a horse that was supposed to be for my mom and I, but she hurt her hand. And I lost my confidence. I could relearn those riding skills I once had with my aunt and mom. Thank you for the superb idea! Sailing sounds like a beautiful idea. I do not live by the sea, but I would adore to do it on holiday. For a credit crunch alternative, we are probably having a simple seaside trip this year. When my mum was younger, she lived on a farm, and they used a boat on the river. Perhaps that would be fun! Oh I am so pleased with every these ideas. Thank you every!!
