There is this friend of mine who looks forward to going to the beach every summer just so she can watch birds,  so I hear her say.  And she is usually walking around with a pair of binoculars slung over her shoulder to aid her in this profession.  And those bird watching binoculars are fun to look through as you can usually see someone miles away down the beach with those things, though she usually uses them for bird watching. If you happen to be looking for telescopes or binoculars, Anacortes Telescope & Wild Bird has all the bird watching clothing, supplies and accessories you may need. They also offer telescopes for any of those star gazing, planet watching and other astronomy activities you may want to do. And please be sure to try and watch the birds only and help save planet mother earth. Peace on earth and goodwill to all mankind.
