Deluxe Birdwatching Starter Kit (Ranger)
The Deluxe Starter Kit is an elegant entry into birdwatching. It brings together the basic necessities of field guide and binoculars, and it adds some other items to provide the most satisfying introduction to birding.

It starts with the highly rated, waterproof, full-sized Eagle Optics Ranger 8x42 binocular. This roof-prism binocular has very good optical quality, excellent eye relief so that even glasses wearers can see the whole field of view, hand-friendly surface, and a nice, smooth focus knob. It will focus as close as 5.2 feet, so if you feed birds right outside your window, you won't have to back up to focus on them. You also get a lens pen with brush to help you keep the lenses clear.

The kit also includes the Vortex harness to take all the weight off your shoulders while you're carrying the binocular and a lens-cleaning pen to care for your binocular

The field guide is the wonderful, new National Geographic Society 6th Edition Field Guide to Birds of North America, which includes the birds of the whole continent. It has beautiful, informative illustrations and an excellent, detailed range map by the picture of each bird. This new edition 6th edition is 70 pages longer than the 5th edition and includes helpful comments next to the illustrations to help you isolate important field marks.

You'll get a great jumpstart on identifying birds from the Sibley Birding Basics book. It explains explains the basic concepts of identification: shape and size, colors, and defining features of the feathers. It also tells how to use the bird's behavior, habitat, and calls to identify it. And each point is illustrated with beautiful color paintings, covering everything from a feather to the whole bird.

You'll also receive our own DVD, How to Start Watching Birds. The narrator is Diane Porter, of Birdwatching Dot Com, incorporating techniques from her popular classes in birdwatching, to give you all the information and tips you need in order to start enjoying birdwatching right now!

This is the kit for the beginner who is already serious about birds.
