Ready for some nocturnal birding? It’s different; it’s unusual; but it’s interesting, and it may open a new option for a little birding by moonlight. But night vision binoculars might be helpful when you’re in the field in the early morning, waiting for the light to break; or when checking on the nighttime behavior of some birds of interest, perhaps at a night roost site or at a lake holding a migrating flock of waterfowl. You may even be interested in checking an owl nest site, or a nest box used by an owl; or perhaps you are interested in seeing what animals are checking out your feeding station under the cover of darkness.
Night vision optics give you an opportunity to learn about avian nightlife, which may open a door, even a little bit, to a new aspect of birding. Many night vision binoculars come with infrared illuminators to enhance your viewing. Night vision optics actually come in many forms: A night vision scope, night vision binocular, night vision monocular, and even night vision goggles.
With so many different options, we refer you to the professionals at Optics4Birding to see the surprising variety of makes and models of night vision optics. Be sure to refer to https://www.optics4birding.com/nightvision.aspx
