Don't Be Bright For Birding

Birds can be extremely, flighty. Bird watchers know this all too well. Hence, the need for binoculars. Unfortunately, even if you are some distance from a bird you could still be a disturbance to them. The reason? Bright colors. Bird might mistake ‘em for a predator. The best thing you can do is dull down your wardrobe and binoculars. Look for a pair that doesn't stand out exterior-wise like the Steiner Merlin binoculars. They come in an earth tone brown. A color that birds notice the least.
