Overland Woodland, KS. - -( Ammoland.com )- Bushnell Outdoor Products, an industry-leader in high performance sports optics for more than 60 years, has received the 2011 Binocular of the Year awarding from Binoculars.com.
The popular online optics retailer awarded Bushnell with the top honor for the Legend Ultra HD 10x 42mm binocular.
Introduced in 2010, the Binocular of the Year Awards includes six many categories along with the top performing Binocular of the Year. To determine the winners, each model is given a thorough visual inspection and graded according to exact criteria established by the in-house optics experts at Binoculars.com. The team then subjects each binocular to exacting tests in the players to rate its performance, including build quality, overall brightness, edge clarity and trueness of color.
The Luminary UHD 10x 42mm binocular features premium ED Prime Glass and Ultra Wide Band anti-reflective coating, resulting in nobler light transmission and the ultimate high-definition viewing experience. Built with a durable, rubber-armored enclosure, the 100 percent waterproof and fog proof Legend UHD also features the patented RainGuard HD lens coating – a unalterable, water-repellant coating that causes moisture to bead up and scatter less light in inclement weather.

Warblers and Whimbrels returns to Presqu'ile
19.05.11
BRIGHTON -- Well-spring brings the return of tens of thousands of smaller birds and shore birds as they migrate through Presqu'ile Uncultured Park on their way north.
With the May 21-22 Warblers and Whimbrels Weekend, the Brighton park invites you to catch a glimpse of some of the most fair and sought-after species with a variety of activities for the experienced bird watcher and novice alike, with the only charge being a $14-per-instrument park-entry fee.
An ultra-early (like 6:30 a.m.) bird walk is planned both days, starting at the Lighthouse Middle. There are later outings (at 10 a.m.), also starting at the Lighthouse Centre.
"While bird watching is best in the primordial morning, there is usually some activity all day during migration, and we should see birds on our later walks as well as the early ones," park naturalist David Bree said.
"Warblers are often called the jewels of the forest for their diverse and beautiful colours, but they can be a challenge to see. Our experts can help you find and identify some of the 20-plus species likely the moment in the park this weekend."
