the aviary!

I've been into birding for about five years, but I hadn't had a decent camera setup until recently. so this list is very incomplete in terms of species that I've actually seen. hover over a bird for their name!



current camera setupI currently use a rigged iphone. I attach my phone to a phone skope case and adapter, which connects to my binoculars. I can't say I recommend phone skope just because I feel like they're wildly overpriced. also I think they're starting to degrade the eyecups so I need to figure that out before it gets really bad. but it does make a huge difference in image quality so who's to say.
