Digiscoping!

Sorry about lack of posts during the holidays, we had 12 people over for Christmas and its been kinda crazy.

Well anyway, there was certainly a big highlight on X-mas! I already have a Swarovski 65mm scope and I have been wanting to start digiscoping. Well, I got a 50mm Nikkor lens for our Nikon and a DCA camera adapter from my mom and dad!! I have a Nikon D80 and a 300mm zoom lens which I use for bird shots. My mom had been researching and a lot of folks said that the Nikon 50mm Nikkor lens was the best choice for digiscoping. So far its been GREAT! I've been taking pics of the birds in our yard and have got some pretty good ones.

Well aside from that I'm doing the Christmas Bird Count on Saturday with a birder from Santa Fe! I think that I may be live-streaming on a radio station that day at 10:10 mountain time!

One question:

Do you think that I should delete my trip list and start a new one or just ad to my trip list?

Anyway, here are some of my digiscoping pics:
