are these good for bird watching in my back yard

According to my grandson who wanted them for this purpose they are great for bird watching. Best part of the purchase was they came with a lanyard and case which was not in the product description!

Yes. Though I have a larger pair with greater resolution, I often use these because they are so handy and the sharpness and magnification are as good. I always carry them on my belt when I am hiking.

Absolutely! My backyard is over 150' deep. We sit on the back porch watching birds and animals.

Don't know. I am pleased with the binoculars for birding-sharp, clear image, decent brightness. Monarch series received high ranking in Cornell ornithological lab evaluations.

I think they would be great. Although sturdy, they are fairly lightweight, compact and easy to grip. The neck strap is very comfortable. I use mine on the ranch, but I know people who use them for bird watching, so you can zero in on your favorite player and not miss a touchdown.

I would have to look back at my information but I can say these are fantastic small binoculars. They are not the best for birding because they do not have the width of field you may want but otherwise I do like them very much.

I have used this binoculars to stargazing...but's it's really not like a telescope. I use it mainly to watch birds.

I purchased these specifically for backyard birdwatching and could not be more pleased!

I bought a pair of these, and while they are fine for bird watching in the back yard ... they do not meet my intended requirements. The ranging capability is very limited.

Outside - I'm not sure why, but they are weather proof. Maybe the visibility is better for the birds on the outside.

I've not used them in that environment, use mostly for birding which is perhaps a more challenging use for binoculars. Thus I see no reason why they would not be very good for that. I do not think you would want greater magnification with narrower field of view because you have to move them quickly in that scenario. THese are very good overall, especially for the price. If it rains, the lenses have built in attached covers to keep them dry when not in use.

They are not as powerful as a full set of observational binoculars. I use them for viewing in my yard or across the street. You might want to go to a sporting store and just try some out to see what you think.

I find them to be fantastic for general use. Recently used them for inspecting the roof and upper parts of our house from the ground. They are superb for birding and wildlife watching. They focus quickly and work well if tou wear glasses. Well worth the money.

they work great with hands on wildlife. i cannot comment for other applications such as skygazing,etc

I consider these binoculars to be high resolution and optically clear. They provide sharp focus on insects and vegetation as well as inanimate objects from as close as 2 1/2 feet (approximate) to many yards away. The answer to your question depends upon your knowledge of snake species, your ability to ascertain distinguishing characteristics, whether the snakes are on the line of sight, and a host of other variables. Are they good binoculars? Yes. Those with whom I have shared them have remarked "these are amazing; I've never seen binoculars like this".

No Zach, I would get something else. They are good for yard work or anything outdoors, but I wouldn't use them consistently to look at a monitor. Cheers

You'd be able to see the birds, but I think a scope would be a better choice. These are great binoculars for the price, but I think you would be disappointed if you try to view nests over 200 feet away.

They are only 3 mega pixel but they are very sensitive. They will take pictures of every bird that flies into the viewing area. Pictures aren't very good quality but certainly good enough to identify bluejays, crows etc at 30 feet. Very easy to operate--a good starter camera--he will have fun with it.

Absolutely. Great clarity for birdwatching. Only complaint- the end covers do not stay in place.
