See more It is our eyes that guide us through the world. They
shape our perception of our surroundings and all we encounter. Leica has long since dedicated itself to the field of optical percep­tion, developing instruments to heighten this sense and increase ones enjoyment of it. The famous cameras and lenses, as well as the high quality class of sport optics products, to which belong the high per­formance binoculars, spotting scopes, and laser rangefinders are all part of Leica’s legacy in optics. They open new dimensions of optical performance and go beyond natural limitations, while at the same time ensuring unmistakable Leica quality. Our engineers and devel­opers thrive on the challenge put forth by people with the highest standards and expectations in optical performance. As multi-faceted as their applications, so too are the methods used to create sport optics products that display images rich in contrast and with out­standing color rendition. Glass containing fluorite or those with corrected spectral dispersion, aspherical and achromatic lenses, as well as modern multi-layer coatings like HDC™ and HighLux-System HLS™ allow for unforgettable viewing experiences. Through our high standards, knowledge, and dedication we create optical masterpieces, which become the benchmark of their class.

Experience Nature Nature constantly challenges those wishing
to brave it. These free spirits are out to enjoy the freedom of the out­doors and to find that unforgettable moment, which only nature can provide. Nature is their passion. They know best of all how difficult it can be to identify that rarest of birds under the most trying condi­tions. Our quest is to bring enthusiasts closer to nature, and coupled with our Leica expertise, make our optical instruments the ideal field companions. Even under the most grueling conditions, such as extreme temperature changes and constant physical abuse, our products exceed expectations. The reason for this being that Leica binoculars, spotting scopes, and laser rangefinders are the result of many years of experience, uncompromising quality standards and a continuing dedication to excellence. Leica’s product development is driven by international “Innovation Teams” comprised of experts and users. This approach has resulted in numerous patents, e.g. the multifunction center drive of our full-size binoculars, the dual-focusing device of our spotting scopes and our unique laser rangefinding technology.
Observe and preserve We see it as our duty to protect the
environment. Therefore, Leica only uses environmentally friendly materials and technology. As such, all glass is lead- and arsenic-free, and has been so for years. Leica is also active worldwide in protecting endangered species and conserving crucial habitat.

best : “As anyone who has tried bird photography can attest, it can be a difficult proposition to capture the essen­ce of bird life on film (or digital memory cards), but these young birders pulled it off.” The ABA/Leica Young Birder of the Year contest has had over 500 young people enter and fine-tune different facets of their birding. The flexibility of the contest allows participants to pursue and expand on the areas of birding that most fascinate them. As our young bir­ders become adults and mentors for others, they will carry forward these learning experiences into their college studies and eventual careers. The ABA
is proud to have Leica Camera Inc as the
primary sponsor for our young birder education programs.
Lori L. Fujimoto, Education Manager and Ted Floyd, Editor of Birding
Leica and ABA youth birding programs
Leica Camera Inc has been the principle sponsor of the ABA Young Birder of the Year program since its beginnings in 1997. Leica is also a proud supporter of the American Birding Association’s Young Birder’s Conventions and Youth Birding Camps. Leica supports these programs by providing high quality optics, by offering scholarships, and by deferring overall costs. This allows more of these talented young naturalists to attend these programs, and learn about their natural surroundings.

Supporting young birders Young birders everywhere are
often isolated from their peers, watching and studying birds all by themselves. So how do you inspire and encourage students from across the continent to discover birding, to get out into the field and improve their birding proficiency and enjoyment, and at the same time connect with other young birders ?
One of the ways that the American Birding Association (ABA) has found to do just that was to create a contest, the ABA/Leica Young Birder of the Year (YBY), which would spark their imaginations as well as increase their desire to pursue and develop their own birding skills.
The YBY contest was begun in 1997 with a firm commitment from the ABA Education Program to encourage more young people to become interested in birding and encourage young birders to enhance their entire birding experience, with an emphasis on the development of good field skills. Leica Camera Inc stepped up as the principal sponsor of this exciting new event, with superior optics prizes and a generous scholarship to a youth birding camp for the winners. The YBY has evolved from that first ven­ture, and now consists of four individual modules : field notebook, writing, photo­graphy, and illustration. Participants can customize the contest to reflect their own ornithological interests and the aspects of birding that they find the most compelling by participating in just one or all four of the modules. To qualify for overall YBY, participants must complete the field notebook module and at least two of the others.
The Field Notebook Module is the primary piece for the YBY. Taking good field notes requires a commitment to time spent in the field, careful observa­tion, attention to detail, and dedication to birds and birding. It is not a stretch to say that most of today’s leading birders and ornithologists kept field notebooks when they were younger. The lessons learned – discipline, organization, clarity, rigor – are vital to so many different careers in
birding and ornithology, among them writing, painting, tour-leading, museum work, and conservation science.
Distinct from the Field Notebook Module is the Writing Module. Whereas the Field Notebook Module emphasizes on-the-ground, on-site descriptions of birds observed in the field, the Writing Module presents a venue for analysis, interpretation, and speculation. The pri­mary genre here is the essay, but some
of our creative young birders venture into more imaginative media such as poetry. Being able to communicate well is the key to success in the modern professional world, and the Writing Module provides our young birders with excellent, in-depth exposure to the craft of writing.
The Illustration Module strengthens the participants’ competence as birders as well as their artistry and creativity. As they distinguish the subtle colors of field marks, correct primary extension lengths, and overall bird proportions, they are also bolstering their birding and field identifi-
cation skills. And as they scrutinize the proportion challenges when the birds change their position, they are also lear­ning about the way birds move when they sing, eat, and go about their daily lives. Capturing a bird’s particular attitude and beauty along with the successful handling of their chosen media is a charge that these young birders have met with aplomb. The act of putting pencil to paper has become an expression of these
young birders’ love and enthusiasm for their subjects.
The newest addition to the YBY contest was the Photography Module, introduced in 2003. This module gives young birders yet another avenue to explore birding while boosting their proficiency with their photography. Photographic equipment used by young birders has varied from simple point - and-shoot cameras to sophisticated SLR’s. An impressive array of photographs has been produced in these first two years. One of the pho­tography judges, Bill Schmoker, said it

Watching the skies It’s a cool, crisp, early October morning
and 100 people are standing together with their eyes fixed on the sky. “Peregrine Falcon over the bunker” shouts one of them as he simul­taneously records the event on a hand-held tally counter. In unison, all eyes turn to bear witness to the fleeting moment, and a collective, almost imperceptible “ahh” is uttered.
By sunset, the herald with the tally counter called out the name “Peregrine Falcon” 256 more times, and recorded the passing of another four thousand hawks, eagles and falcons during their southward transit over historic Cape May, New Jersey.
Standing on the spacious hawk watch platform in Cape May Point State Park today, it’s difficult to imagine the Cape May Hawk Watch of thirty years ago. Most noticeable, the crowds of birders were considerably smaller. Dozens during the week (perhaps) and scores on the weekends are nothing compared to the tens of thousands of people who now travel to Cape May each fall. In 1976, a rickety table that accommodated one person, is now a two-tiered, state-of-the­art observation deck seats more than 200 visitors. Back then, a single person did everything – bird counting, back yard ornithology, and Cape May Bird Obser­vatory ambassador. Now, two official counters and two interpretive naturalists handle the flow of migrating hawks and questions from throngs of visiting hawk watchers.
In 1976, however, the importance of the data we were collecting to future raptor conservation efforts was clear, and this understanding has not changed thirty years later. For several decades before the start of the Cape May Hawk Watch, raptor populations were ravaged by the effects of DDT, a chemical used to con­trol agricultural pests. Species like Peregrine Falcon and Bald Eagle declined precipitously. This debacle became the environmental community’s rallying cry for greater controls on pesticide use. Thirty years of data have helped to docu­ment the recovery of Peregrine Falcon, Bald Eagle and other raptor species after the use of DDT was banned. The data also revealed more recent declines in other species like Sharp-shinned Hawk and American Kestrel, a diminutive falcon.
Established in 1897, New Jersey Audubon Society is a member supported not-for-profit organization that has been
at the forefront of environmental educa­tion, conservation and research for over 100 years. Initially, the Society was formed to combat wholesale market hunting of birds and to fight against the decimation of birds to supply feathers to the millinery industry. Our efforts, and those of other Audubon societies, were instrumental in the passage of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act in 1911, a regulation that still protects nearly all bird species occurring in the United States today.
The Cape May Bird Observatory, one of New Jersey Audubon Society’s ten staffed centers, made its debut the same year that the Cape May Hawk Watch began. Thirty years later it is a world renowned
bird watching center and a regional lea­der in science-based bird conservation. The Observatory entertains thousands of visitors that come to Cape May to experience the migration phenomena. The scope of the Observatory’s recent scientific work includes the study of shorebirds during spring migration
through Delaware Bay, which is a hemispherically important staging area for several species en route to the Arctic, breeding grassland birds, evaluating the impact of wind power development, and assessing population trends in migrating raptors and waterbirds.
But what makes Cape May so special when it comes to birds, especially those species that make annual migratory journeys. The business world mantra “location, location, location,” applies here. While migration occurs all over the Northern (and much of the southern) Hemisphere, it is not evenly apportioned. If you look at southern New Jersey, trapped between Delaware Bay to the west and the Atlantic Ocean to the east,
the geography resembles a big funnel with Cape May Peninsula at the terminus. Prevailing northwesterly winds in fall push southbound migrants into the funnel’s mouth.
Tens of thousands of hawks and millions of songbirds get “trapped” at the end of the funnel – squeezed onto
the peninsula where they back up before deciding to cross Delaware Bay. This often results in spectacular hawk flights and fallouts of migrants – much to the pleasure of birdwatchers.
Biologists also find these major con­centrations useful because they put large portions of species’ population in the same place at nearly the same time, which is an efficient way to assess their status. This is especially important for many raptor species, which are difficult to monitor during the breeding season. Data collected during the Cape May
Hawk Watch’s 30 year tenure has been instrumental in understanding the population dynamics of several species.
Like most things in life, environmental education, conservation, and research can be an expensive business. The suc­cess of New Jersey Audubon Society and Cape May Bird Observatory is dependent in large part on the financial support of its members and cooperative agreements with government agencies. Another important means of support are partner­ships with corporate entities that have clear natural resource conservation awareness and a connection with the bird watching and conservation community. Leica Sports Optics is one of these entities.
The history of birding is intrinsically linked with the history of optics. As optics improved, so too did birding’s skill level, and popularity. Leica has been at the forefront of this birding revolution. The Trinovid binocular has been a stalwart of the birding community since its introduc­tion. Leica continues to be a leader in optical equipment innovation, especially for bird watching applications. This is most evident in its state-of-the-art Televid APO spotting scope and the recent deve­lopment of the Ultravid binocular. This binocular features exceptional field of view, superior depth of field, and close, fast focus, making it the ideal instrument for flight identification of raptors and other bird species. This is why we feel strongly that Leica Sport Optics is the ideal partner for the Cape May Hawk Watch joint venture. If you visit Cape May between September 1 and November 30, you can see the fruits of this cooperative agreement – and more than a few birds.
David Mizrahi, Ph.D. Vice-president for Research New Jersey Audubon Society
Leica Supports Research in Cape May
Leica is the official sponsor of the Cape May Hawk Watch, and has supported other co-operative research efforts as well. In addition to providing funds for the Hawk Watch staff, Leica supplied world class optics for the project.
Leica binoculars and scopes are un­rivaled for clarity and light gathering ability, making the job of spotting and identifying birds at a distance a breeze. This fact is not lost on the thousands of visitors that come to the Hawk Watch who are encouraged to use the exceptional optical equipment.

The Duovid class : Two binoculars in one
The LEICA DUOVID 8+12x 42 and 10 +15x 50 are the only premium performance binoculars with two magnifications. No matter what the situation, whether it is over long distances or during critical low­light conditions, the Leica Duovid adapts to it perfectly. The lower magnification (8 x with the 42 Duovid or 10 x with the 50) allows for shake-free viewing and a large field of view. By switching to the higher magnification (12 x or 15 x respectively) one achieves greater detail recognition. In contrast to monocular add-on power boosters, a binocular booster is already integrated in the Duovid – lightweight, easy to operate and with a large field of view. Both models are well-balanced and feature an outstanding ergonomic design, thereby allowing for virtually shake-free viewing, even at high magnification. Other technical innovations, such as the Leica HighLux-System HLS™ and the Automatic Diopter Compensation ADC™ when switching between powers, make the Duovid a unique and versatile instrument.

The 15 x magnification is ideally suited for viewing over long distances. The 10 x magnification, on the other hand, gives you a good overview.
“I use the Duovids for the extra flexibility they provide. I might want to watch dragon
flies at one moment, and then a distant sea-eagle ; the rapid change of magnification
makes that easy. I try to encourage my students too to scan a scene with 8 x
magnification, and then switch to 12x for the close view.”
(Dr. Wolfgang Dreyer, Germany)
LEICA DUOVID10 +15 x 50 – the binocular-spotting scopes With its
15x magnification, the Duovid with 50 mm objective lens bridges the gap between binocular and spotting scope.
LEICA DUOVID 8+12x 42 – the most flexible 42 mm binoculars
Unique 12x magnification in a 42 mm glass, which allows for great detail recognition.
LEICA DUOVID 10 +15 x 50
This Duovid is a high performance binocular that, with a flick of the wrist, becomes a binocular­spotting scope. The 10 x magnification allows for shake-free viewing and a larger field of view. By switching to 15 x one achieves a level of detail recognition previously found only in spotting scopes. Due to its high level of optical perform­ance, the 50 mm Duovid is also well suited for astronomy – it comes delivered with a tripod adapter to provide added stability.
The ergonomic design and the soft-touch rubber armoring (available in black or green) allow for a secure and shake-free handling of the binocular, even while wearing gloves.
LEICA DUOVID 8 +12 x 42
The compact 42 Duovid offers 8 x magnification for a large field of view, as well as12x magni­fication for greater detail recognition. As with the 50 mm model, this Duovid features the sliding eyecups with two click stops, which ensure the ideal eye relief for every user.
To switch between magnifications, one must adjust the ring on each tube accordingly. Due to the Automatic Diopter Compensation ADC™ your previously set diopter will auto­matically adjust itself to the new magnification.
“The Duovid, with its variable magnification, cannot be compared to zoom binoculars.
The optical performance and the Automatic Diopter Compensation ADC™ create a
new reference class. The Duovid 8 +12 x 42 need not shy away from comparing itself to
high-end fixed-power binoculars.”
(Michael O’Brien, Birding Tour Leader and Author, USA)
Due to its extreme twilight performance, the Duovid achieves great detail recognition at12x and 15 x magnification, even under poor light conditions. However, with continued deteriorating light conditions, one should switch to 8x or 10 x magnification, since the binoculars render brighter images at lower power settings.

The Ultravid class : Binoculars for extreme demands
Nothing demonstrates what is technically possible today quite as well as the flagship products of the Ultravid class. The housing and center­shaft of the 50 mm, 42 mm, and 32 mm models are made of ultra-light­weight, yet extremely durable, magnesium and titanium. Two light­weight exterior finishes are available : soft-touch rubber armoring or elegant leather. The use of these ultra-light materials, coupled with perfectly aligned components, guarantees long-term durability at mini­mal weight. The thumb rests of the 50 mm and 42 mm models and the sliding eyecups with two click stops of all Ultravid models ensure a comfortable viewing experience. Their soft, cushioning rubber element allows for a comfortable positioning of the eye, and due to the click stops they can be individually set for the perfect eye relief. The strength of the Ultravid class is due, in large part, to its high image quality. The Leica HighLux-System HLS™ makes that possible. This innovative system – comprised of a new highly reflective mirror coating on the prism surfaces and the optimized optical and mechanical design – further reduces stray-light and generates increase in light-transmission and contrast, thereby creating an unforgettable viewing experience. These and other technical advances make it obvious that the Ultravid class is the new reference class in binoculars.

a continuation of the previously established design, function, mechanical, and optical standards of the Ultravid class. They redefine 32 mm binoculars.
Magnesium and titanium are the strengths of the 50 mm, 42 mm, and 32mm lightweight Ultravids. A housing constructed entirely out of magnesium and a center-shaft made of titanium guarantee the longevity and make the very low weight of the Ultravid models possible. Easy to use and nice to look at : The newly redesigned center drive is a feat of Leica engineering. The new ring-shaped window is easy to read and the focusing wheel is smooth and easy to operate. Because of the short focusing path of just over one turn, the optimal point of sharpness is easily found.
LEICA ULTRAVID 8 x 32 BR
High-performance binocular with 32 mm objective lens diameter, 8 x magnification and a large field of view of 135 m allows for a great overview and steadiness of image. This binocular is the new reference class for those seeking minimal weight yet maximum optical performance.
LEICA ULTRAVID 10x 32 BR
The most powerful 32 mm model not only impresses over great distances, but also has an astonishing close focus of 2.1 m.
In terms of optical performance and handling, you might believe that you are holding a 42mm binocular, when in fact it is a 32mm binocular.
