I have a couple pair of really old (50 years+) binoculars that were in my
family. They are still useable but they are really hard to focus. What is the
best thing to use to lubricate the focus wheel? I assume some type of grease
but what kind and where can I get some?
Thanks for any suggestions
There was a Boreal Chickadee at Diamond Lake in south Minneapolis in
January of 1983. The bird was first reported to the Minneapolis Rare Bird
Alert by Marv Borrell, a birder who lived along the lake. I saw the bird
on Jan. 3, 8 and 11, twice with other birders. On 3 January I saw the bird
there
To answer to the question posed below, I checked old issues of The Jack-Pine
Warbler, and, no, there was no irruption of Boreal Chickadees in MI in winter
1966-67. That still leaves open the question of WI, and one might reasonably
suggest that Boreal Chickadees are more likely to irrupt southw
As noted by several people already, a Boreal Chickadee record that far south
would certainly be unusual, but not unprecedented. There was a substantial
irruption into southern and western Minnesota in the winter of 1966-67 with
birds seen in the Twin Cities and as far southwest as Yellow medicin
I did check out the park yesterday at 4:15 and was not successful. I did
locate one Black capped Chickadee who did have a bit of a more wraspy then

attempt to use playback and didn't get any responses.

Farther east, Boreal Chickadees can be found somewhat south of their normal
range as a rarity on a somewhat regular basis. For example, looking at
eBird data, Massachusetts had had a Boreal Chickadee in 3 out if the last
four years. In 2019 there was one in New Jersey. In 2011, there was one

Here’s what I have as identifying characteristics:
Dark brown-ish cap on head, rather than black
Light, yellow-ish coloring under wings
Buzzy, “bluh-bluh-bluh-bluh” sort of call that I’d not heard before, mixed with
more standard, but also more nasal “chick-a-dee-dee” calls
I’ve never seen one be
