Twitchers Love Waterproof Binoculars

Sphere: Related Content
A twitcher is the official name for a bird watcher. If you've ever seen a twitcher finally discover a long quested-for bird (or witnessing rare birdie behavior) then you will graphically see why the name is so apt. But in order for most twitchers to see the objects of their adulation, they need to stay very still, very far away. So, the gift of waterproof binoculars or a waterproof monocular comes in handy (depending on how many eyes your twitcher friend has).

It Needs To Get Wet

Birds live outdoors and congregate around water, even if it's just a bird bath in your friend's backyard. The weather is not always cooperative for ideal bird-watching. Also, have you ever noticed that many birds are more active when it rains lightly than when the sun is shining? This is because the rain brings the worms up to the surface. For all of these reasons, you need to get a pair of waterproof binoculars for twitchers.

Aren't They All Alike?

Sadly, not all binoculars are waterproof binoculars. Now, granted, you won't be able to drop the waterproof binoculars in the middle of the ocean, dredge them up again and then expect them to work. That's asking too much. But, you should be able to get your waterproof binoculars rained on or splashed by an ocean wave and not be damaged.
