Exclusively Swift's the Audubon 8.5x44 BWCF 820 was born years back out of a survey of the world's leading ornithologists. And it's since become famous worldwide for superior performance and dependability. In fact a recent survey by the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology places this binocular among the Top 10 Affordable binoculars and the English publication British Birds rates it a Best Buy. The current model using the same time-tested optical formula produces an extremely wide field (430 feet) is more compact and gives a brighter image than the original design. Its hard-amber coating and multi-coated optics produce sharp crisp images to the outer limits of the wide field. With a fine focusing mechanism and close-focus of 13 feet these binoculars make it easy to track birds in flight or animals on the run. The Audubon 8.5x44 BWCF 820 binoculars ships with a padded Cordura case and a broad woven neck strap. It's just ducky as a birder's binocular!
