A Guide to Birding with Spotting Scopes
Outfitted with a powerful magnification range and an oversized objective, the Barska Colorado WP 20-60×80 Spotting Scope is an ideal companion for birders, hunters, and nature enthusiasts who require a versatile and portable optic on the trail or at the range. This spotter comes with a large 80mm objective to draw in copious amounts of light and a zoom range that provides wide views at low power with the ability to make detailed observations of distant subjects at its highest magnification. It also has anti-reflection fully multi-coated optics to improve light transmission, color rendition, and contrast to enable it to clearly resolve subjects at extreme distances even in low-light conditions such as at dawn or dusk or under overcast skies.
The scope’s eyepiece is set at a 45 angle to the optical tube and the tripod collar can rotate the orientation of the eyepiece to the tripod to allow you to put it in a comfortable viewing position whether standing, sitting, or lying prone. A textured zoom collar and focus knob ensure easy handling in cold and wet weather or while wearing gloves. Included with the spotter is a soft case for extra protection without adding excessive weight and a tabletop tripod with pan/tilt head to give you a complete system right out of the box.
