The new Zeiss Conquest APIA 65 spotting scope is lightweight (2.97 pounds), has a smooth focus wheel, 20-50x zoom capabilities, and impressive HD quality optics and light transmission. Our staff pros have tried it, and they all agree it tops the other spotting scopes in its class when it comes to clarity, color rendition, and light gathering. How does it match up to the top-of-the-line Swarovski and Kowa Scopes? At only $1499, it is impressively close.
One of our staff members remarked, “It’s like Zeiss took the Victory SFL and turned it into a spotting scope”

While the trees may be past the peak of their autumn colors, we’re just getting started with the spectacular hues of our wintering waterfowl. One of these, the Bufflehead, which breeds in the far north, is just now starting to show back up at our local reservoirs.

At first glance, he’s a fairly unremarkable little black and white duck with a dark head that resembles a pie chart that’s missing a big piece. As with most things though, a thorough inspection rewards the careful viewer: in the right light, what appears black shines iridescent purple and green!

This winter, watch for this little guy among all the other ducks on the water.

Winter is coming! Stop in today and prepare with a heated bird bath or deicer. When temps drop and everything else is frozen, a heated bird bath is a lifesaver for thirsty birds. And, when the weather is slightly warmer, they'll use it to keep their feathers nice and clean!

🎃 IT’S HALLOWEEN WEEK AND WE HAVE A CHILLING QUESTION TO ASK🦇

Which of these four birds is the SPOOKIEST? There can only be one winner. Choose wisely.

Turkey Vulture – Circles overhead ominously. Looks like the Grim Reaper sent it. 100% patiently waiting for you to die so it can pick your bones clean.

Common Raven – Eerily intelligent. Sinister collective names (a group of ravens is called an unkindness or a treachery). So spooky that Edgar Allen Poe wrote an entire poem about it. Nevermore..

Barn Owl – Silent flight. Terrifying witch-like screeches. Centuries of shapeshifting and bad omen myths can’t be wrong.

Harpy Eagle – Talons the size of grizzly claws. Judgmental stare. Would eat you if it could carry you.

Here's a small glimpse of what we saw during our trip to Ecuador last week. A huge thank you to our trip partner - Reefs to Rockies - for creating a flawless itinerary that gained us 209 species in 6 days. R2R...you all are rock stars! (All photos by Dave Kwasnick.)

Are you having trouble with woodpeckers drumming on or drilling holes in your house...in October? In the spring these are breeding behaviors, but in the fall they're more often territorial (former) and winter preparation (latter) activities.

To scare off woodpeckers, you can hang up reflective tape, pinwheels, or even old cds. Just make sure that what you hang up is able to blow in the breeze. The flash of light as the object moves is key.

If scaring the birds off isn’t working, after sealing up where they’re making a hole, put up an appropriately-sized nest box over or near where they’ve been excavating. Northern Flickers (often the culprit of house excavations) readily take to nest/roost boxes.

Stop by one of our locations and let us pick out the right nest box or deterrent for you. We’re always happy to help you with your woodpecker woes!
