* Mine are Vixen 7 x 35, 341 ft at 1,000 yards

I'm not a "birder" by any stretch.  Nevertheless, from the front deck facing the Schoharie and and back deck facing Becker Hollow, within sight and sound there are:



thrushes(several varieties),
swifts, warblers, robins (found 3 nests of these),
jays, cardinals, finches, hawks, owl,
(in the swamp off Route 214) heron and other fowl
woodpeckersis that maybe a Tanager?
don't know what that one is - over there -
pretty throat markings though,

not to mention crow.


I'm guessing an experienced birder with good optics* could sight fifty or more species without having to go too deep into the forest, if it would only stop raining.
