Spotting Scopes / Binoculars

Equipment Rentals

Open World Explorers provides free use of its spotting scope optics during its events. Spotting scopes are a critical piece of birding equipment when trying to catch views of both large and small birds at great open distances, especially hawk watching, shore birding, seabirds, and open fields. Often these birds are far away from any disturbances, which allows for extended viewing in search of clinching field marks, ... but also great observation of natural bird behaviors. When not on an event, these scopes are available for rental.

To inquire or reserve a spotting scope rental contact Steve at info@openworldexplorers.com or 603.767.7895.
