Take Note

One of the best binocular accessories doesn't even attach to the binoculars. And needs no batteries. It's the notebook. Essentially, it is the way to record all the results you get in the field – instantly. Birdwatchers can note about what birds were in the area. Astronomers can jot down area markings from the best view sites. If you are packing light for these day and night excursions then pocket size is perfect. As a safe precaution you might also want to bring along a sealable sandwich bag to pop your notebook into in case it starts to rain.
