Both useful and entertaining, Club George covers everything from how to buy binoculars to fascinating trivia about New Yorks most famous park. This amusing gem will be welcomed by book-buying birdwatchers, Central Park enthusiasts, and armchair nature lovers everywhere
Customer Review: Birds can save your soul
Humans can learn much from bird behavior, and this book provides a very entertaining glimpse into the social and biological world of our feathered friends. Whether or not you are a bird watcher, you will enjoy Bob Levy’s easy yet intellectual and witty writing style, and you may be very surprised to discover how closely their stories of love, survival, triumph and tragedy parallel the human condition. Levy makes excellent and timely references to insights from legendary bird experts Sibley, Yasakawa, and others to explain the ‘why’ behind his sometimes puzzling observations. When faced with limited resources, environmental challenges, life- or lifestyle-threatening conflict or other Darwinian forces, the birds’ adaptation and response leaves this mere human in awe…

Peterson Field Guide(R) to Backyard Bird Song (Peterson Field Guide Series)
May 24, 2008
With this audio guide, you can learn to identify your favorite birds by their songs and calls alone. Backyard Bird Song includes 28 of the most common backyard birds, such as the American Robin, the Song Sparrow, and the Downy Woodpecker, arranged in groups with similar vocalizations.
Customer Review: hearing is believing
Because the approach of this splendid CD is so straightforward, its value may best be explained by a first-person account of a user.
I’ve been enjoying backyard birds in my home in Costa Rica and now in Indiana for many years. Yet I’ve only rarely felt confident about linking a bird’s song to its appearance. I guess I’m a visual guy. Birdsong sounded good but taught me almost nothing.
Then a helpful attendant in a Wild Birds Unlimited store steered me towards this Peterson Field Guides cd. I’m an admirer of the Peterson Field Guide books, so this was an easy sale.
Since then I’ve listened through the guide three or four times in my car. Already, I find my ears picking up on a particular birdsong when I’m not even paying attention. Typically, I look up and - mirabile dictu - there’s the bird I’ve learned, almost unconsciously, to identify by its song before it appears before the eye.
That’s good pedagogy. This is a good product.
Cheep. Cheep. And so much more.

Steiner 8×30 Safari Binocular
May 21, 2008
The 8 x 30 is the perfect all purpose outdoor companion, small and light enough to travel easily, yet powerful enough to put you in the middle of the action. The 8 x 30 Safari is designed like the versatile Military/ Marine binocular, but with greater glare - and UV- blocking ability, and new profiled “wrap-around” eyecups to block distracting side light.They feature Steiner’s convenient Sports Auto-Focus that, once set for your eyes, gives you a sharp, clear view of everything from 20 yards to infinity without further adjustment.
Customer Review: Steiner 8×30 Safari binoculars
We recently took these binoculars on a safari to East Africa. Having your own pair of binocs is very important and these work wonderfully. The clarity of view and not having to reset the focus each time are very important attributes. You might think larger and more powerful binocs are necessary, but the closeness of wildlife did not require that.
Customer Review: Good Item
We purchased and used these binoculars on a recent hunting trip. Optics are superb and they are light enough to wear full time. I also like the individual focus adjustment, a feature not found on many competitive brands. If I could ask for any improvement, it would be a wider field of view. Mayby I’m just spoiled by the larger (and heavier) 7×50’s I have used previously. Buy from here…
