For beginning birdwatchers binoculars and a bird field guide are all that you need to get started. As you progress and learn more, you will find that having a local or regional bird list and seasonal visitation helpful in identifying birds that you see.
Once you are hooked, and after you try out a spotting scope for the first time, it will be come a "must have" piece of equipment. Mounted on a tripod and using a zoom eye piece, with a spotting scope you can see close ups and feather colors on ducks on a lake where without the scope you can't even see the ducks--maybe just a dark spot on the lake. You will soon find that it enhances your enjoyment of birdwatching and also of wildlife watching.
