It's shorebirds migration season. And I've seen veteran birders use it literally everywhere lol, even using to view a bird on an overhead tree lol(for example at Apollo Park).
And, should be useful for seabird watching as well, such as Point. Vicente and Loma, etc.
I envied a walk leader(was it Sepulveda or Hansen?)'s brilliant scope
Pentax PF-65ED-A II Spotting Scope
This had such a clear view, and nice FOV as well, and I've used a lot of scopes participating on many field trips. But at $500, a bit too expensive for me.
Luckily, there's a fine scope recommended by many birding sites, which is similar in price to binoculars!
Celestron 52248 65mm Ultima Zoom Spotting Scope
Lighter the better, so 65mm is fine by me. And 45 degree one should be more useful for birds overhead and such(but it's $30 more expensive than the straight one, ugh).
AND you need to buy a sturdy but light tripod as well.
Still, debating...lol.

This is even cheaper! But can't find it
