Joel, Oooops! I see you've already jumped on something, but if you hadn't I was going to suggest that you seriously consider a pair of good used Swarovski 8x30 SLC binos. They will massively out-perform your Nikon ATB's and many other brands and models costing more.

My wife bought a pair for birding about three years ago and I liked them so much better than my older Swaro CL's, my Leupy Gold Rings, or the Nikons, Vortex's, Bushnells, and others I'd looked at that I bought a pair for myself.

They perform way above their magnification and objective lens size when compared to many other supposedly good to premium glass.
