When I am out skiing or hiking I have the same problem. I was gearing up to look into progressive prescription sport sunnies from Adlington just before the world changed. I am limping along with some broken Maui Jim sunglasses with built in readers But they don’t go hinge enough for my deteriorating close up vision.</p> <p>we have snow with a little rain for the past few days. It had largely melted out on the lower elevation and south facing trails and I was able to get some nice hikes in last week. Looks like The nicer weather comes back next week - you will get toasty.

All of mine are ten power. &nbsp;My husband likes eight power. &nbsp;</p> <p></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-birding-in-the-wind-plus-baby-owls#post-2121783 Tue, 19 May 2020 14:31:12 +0000 JamC 2121783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>JAileen,<br /> You look fab for your outdoor adventures! Similar to my hiking gear for long walks in the woods. However, your jacket looks much better than my usual, love all the pockets and was wondering what fabric is it made of. Like others, I hear birds often, see them occasionally but am interested in learning more. I will look into the Sibley’s apps because I think hearing the sounds over and over will be really useful! Can you share info on your choice of binoculars? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-birding-in-the-wind-plus-baby-owls#post-2121768 Tue, 19 May 2020 12:51:51 +0000 unfrumped 2121768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the sporty outdoor outfit and the owls--how "great". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-birding-in-the-wind-plus-baby-owls#post-2121594 Mon, 18 May 2020 17:20:41 +0000 Angie 2121594@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are the most stylish and fab bird watcher I know!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-birding-in-the-wind-plus-baby-owls#post-2121557 Mon, 18 May 2020 15:12:44 +0000 JAileen 2121557@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Preppy Pear, thank you. &nbsp;The jacket is nice because it stretches, but pockets are kind of small. &nbsp;I think EB is discontinuing it.</p> <p>Christina, thank you. &nbsp;Have you seen the documentary about birding in Central Park? &nbsp;“Birders: The Central Park Effect” &nbsp;Right now is probably a good time because it’s the spring migration, although maybe the tail end.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-birding-in-the-wind-plus-baby-owls#post-2121547 Mon, 18 May 2020 14:35:08 +0000 Christina F. 2121547@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>That's some stylish gear!</div><div><br /></div><div>Thanks for sharing the owls. am dipping my toe into birding in the North Woods of Central Park. I am not a morning person but always felt this was inevitable, since I like birds and am good at spotting things. We have a surprising number of birds here, including red tail hawks (had one eating a pigeon on my fire escape once).<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-birding-in-the-wind-plus-baby-owls#post-2121544 Mon, 18 May 2020 14:25:03 +0000 Preppy Pear 2121544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! Amazing owl pics - thanks for sharing these. Stay high up in that tree, mother owl - those are not talons I want to see up close without the benefit of the the telephoto lens!

You’re so lucky to have such a fabulous bird in your yard!<div><br /></div><div>Windchime, thank you. &nbsp;This particular spot has had owls nest there for several years. &nbsp;They are hard to find, though. &nbsp;You can look at them, look away, and then you can’t find them again. &nbsp;Mother Nature’s camo is very effective!</p> <p>Sterling, good luck!</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-birding-in-the-wind-plus-baby-owls#post-2121534 Mon, 18 May 2020 14:08:23 +0000 Anonymous 2121534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A guide!&nbsp; &nbsp;I'll research guides.&nbsp; Thank you for the tip.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-birding-in-the-wind-plus-baby-owls#post-2121524 Mon, 18 May 2020 13:25:54 +0000 Windchime 2121524@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your outfit looks perfect for hiking and birdwatching. &nbsp;I’ve not yet seen an owl except in a cage at the Nature Center. &nbsp;I hear great horned owls during the night occasionally and would love to see one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-birding-in-the-wind-plus-baby-owls#post-2121518 Mon, 18 May 2020 13:08:38 +0000 avicennia 2121518@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Excellent photos and the perfect outfit!

Goes perfectly with the landscape.</p> <p>I'm bad about bringing masks when we go for hikes. It's rare we see anyone on the trails near our house and we're been avoiding higher traffic trails especially on weekends and other peak usage hours. So we've just been tying bandanas and wearing them round our necks and then pulling them up if need be. It feels more polite than having nothing, but more practical than a mask. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-birding-in-the-wind-plus-baby-owls#post-2121462 Mon, 18 May 2020 06:45:10 +0000 delurked 2121462@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love these pics.

It likes the long dry leaves from last year’s day lilies.&nbsp;</p> <p>On a walk we discovered a low hanging nest in some cedars. &nbsp;A very precarious choice for a home. &nbsp;I think we are 10 days to 2 weeks behind last year’s spring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-birding-in-the-wind-plus-baby-owls#post-2121388 Sun, 17 May 2020 23:48:28 +0000 Helena 2121388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amazing photos!</p> <p>The fit of the jacket is perfect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-birding-in-the-wind-plus-baby-owls#post-2121379 Sun, 17 May 2020 23:21:13 +0000 Anonymous 2121379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The expression on your face is what I aspire to achieve when I get dressed.

Their beak and talons are like their mother’s. &nbsp;</p> <div><br /></div><div>Slim cat, thank you. &nbsp;The hat has a western tanager embroidered on it. &nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>Joy, thank you. &nbsp;We forgot masks, but kept our social distance with everyone. &nbsp; </p> <p> </div><div>Suntiger, thank you. &nbsp;This is one of the windiest places I've ever lived. &nbsp;We have wind every afternoon until sunset. &nbsp;But today’s wind is related to a storm. &nbsp;The gusts in the park made me nervous because the trees the owls were in were decrepit. &nbsp;I expected them to go down any moment. &nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>Sterling, that is fabulous! &nbsp;Do you have a guide? &nbsp;They have actual books of course, but also apps for your phone. &nbsp;We’ve been using Sibley’s guides which are really good. &nbsp;I like the book because reading on the phone in the sun is hard for me. &nbsp;But the apps have sounds, so each has advantages. &nbsp;I hope you enjoy your new hobby!</div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-birding-in-the-wind-plus-baby-owls#post-2121360 Sun, 17 May 2020 22:11:09 +0000 Anonymous 2121360@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have me so interested in birding that I ordered binoculars last week. &nbsp;The binoculars should arrive mid-week. &nbsp;</p> <p>It seems like all I need are binoculars, hat, and sturdy hiking shoes. &nbsp;Got everything except the binoculars. &nbsp;</p> <p>Thank you for introducing me to a new hobby. &nbsp;</p>
