The key piece of equipment for bird watchers is binoculars. Most people, who think about buying a telescope, either go to a local department store or toy store and buy any telescope they have for sale.
Transporting a telescope has always been a difficult assignment because the instrument is cumbersome and setup is an involved process. Hunting is a rugged sport that puts demands on your equipment. Binoculars come in the convenient hand-held sizes which make them very easy to take with you wherever you go.
Some of the greatest things you can see with a telescope are the moon and its craters. Many of the binoculars come with a carry case that can attach to a belt. Field-of-view is determined by magnification and the focal lengths of the objective and eyepiece lenses.
When you consider the cost of a single hunting trip, quality three to five hundred dollar binoculars are a great investment. The ones in the two to five hundred dollar price range are generally sufficient for bird watchers.
