One of the greatest joys I get from phonescoping is sharing the view with others while my phone is attached to my Kowa 883 scope. It is so much fun watching the faces of little kids light up when you show them a bird on the phone screen. Brings a smile to their parents for that matter. Kowa makes a small selection of adapters for the latest phones to fit their scopes but universal adapters such as Novagrade are available to fit any phone to any scope and work well.
Katherine Koch has been the webmaster of Bird Watcher's Digest since 2004. She spent much of that time "digitally birding," getting to know the birds through posting content, and through that process, she got hooked! She recently moved from Ohio to Texas, where she is reveling in all the new birds she finds in San Antonio.
