 Psalm 55:4-8, The Message Bible -- " 'Who will give me wings,' I ask— 'wings like a dove?' Get me out of here on dove wings; I want some peace and quiet. I want a walk in the country, I want a cabin in the woods. I’m desperate for a change from rage and stormy weather." -- Williamwisephoto Nature Notes is a wildlife, landscape, birding and nature photography blog documenting the wonders of God’s creation. Thank God its Friday! It is a bright and sunny day, but a very chilly 24°! This is my first birding walk with a brand new pair of Zeiss conquest HD binoculars that I ordered from Redstart Birding.  Hooded Merganser swimming on a Walton County pond, Georgia. February 1, 2019. No, the photo was not taken with my new binoculars! lol To save some wear and tear on my camera, I recently decided to purchase my first pair of binoculars for my routine bird listing. My camera could stay safe on rainy or drizzly days. Being thoroughly entertained by Bill and Ben on the Out There With the Birds podcast, I wanted to purchase from their company, Redstart Birding. I watched the great videos on their website and somewhat narrowed down a choice. I emailed and immediately received a response from “the LeBron James of Birding Optics”, recommending the Zeiss Conquest HD 10x42. How could he be wrong? The first time I put these new specs up to me eyes I was blown away. Compared to a 600mm camera lens, the field of view was incredible. I could actually move my eyes around in the frame and see more than through that telephoto lens. And I suppose since I was looking with two eyes, rather than squinting through just one, everything looked so clear and less flat. Even backlit birds had more detail than through the camera lens. It was a new, awe inspiring experience. But I quickly found one problem. When I spotted two pair of gorgeous Wood Ducks on the pond, I quickly realized there was no shutter release button on the binoculars to take a photograph! I guess you have to rob Peter to pay Paul, or something like that. What a great purchase experience with Redstart Birding and a privilege to email chat with Ben. Praying Bill gets well soon! Today: Sunny, with a high near 44. West wind 5 to 15 mph.  Yellow-rumped Warlber; Walton County, Georgia. February 1, 2019.
