Anyone happen to have a recommendation for a good pair of binoculars that’s not too fancy or expensive for birdwatching?

Oh, that upper range gets expensive FAST, which is why I initially thought I didn't need any bc telephoto zoom lens. We did decide to get "inexpensive" ones, and those are still close to 150 clams. PROSTAFF 3S 10x42 a.co/d/8class. (I got them as a gift at least, heh.)

Ooh I think maybe @pollyjennastone.bsky.social might have a rec? We got a pair when we moved to watch the birds here and they're just regular ones from the sporting goods store They were about $30 iirc
