Ever wish you could just pick up your scope and use it without the tripod to keep it steady? Do you feel Iike it’s too much extra bulk to carry a tripod on certain birding trails? Do you feel like birds often escape view before you can set up your scope?
Swarovski’s At Balance 65 solves all of these problems.
This lightweight scope doesn’t need a tripod to give you clear images with up to 45x magnification 🤯
Stop by and check it out at either of our locations!

I feel so lucky to have witnessed this, especially from Mount Sanitas! I saw 3 groups of them😱
I don’t think I would have noticed them otherwise. What an amazing view of Sandhill Crane migration from up above.
“When we hear his call we hear no mere bird. We hear the trumpet in the orchestra of evolution. He is the symbol of our untamable past, of that incredible sweep of millennia which underlies and conditions the daily
men.”
- Aldo Leopold, A Sand County Almanac

It’s always a good day when you stumble across a fellow birder with a camera. Thank you @samuel_forsyth for sending us some beautiful photos and video footage of three owlets. I met Sam when I was out for a run and I asked him what he was photographing before looking up in a tree to see three little owls. 🦉🦉🦉 We even got to see Mom or Dad stop by! It was a beautiful moment and I’m thankful that Sam had a camera to capture it! Thanks for sharing my excitement @samuel_forsyth !
Did you know that young Great Horned Owls rely on their parents for food for 4-5 months after they leave the nest? During this time, the parents show them how to hunt 🦉
I wish I had a pair of pocket binoculars with me on that run (Swarovski CL Pockets are my favorite). At Front Range Birding and Optics, we have anything from monoculars to pocket-sized binoculars to regular-sized binoculars to scopes. Stop by and we’d be happy to let you test out any of our optics 🔎

Shoutout to our very own Caden for finding this Speckled Kingsnake and letting us all appreciate its beauty!🐍
