For a wedding present (1998), Justin bought me a pair of Swift 10x42 Ultra Lite binoculars. Absolutely love them. They're not the lightest around, but they're definitely lighter than many, and they're excellent not only for birding and wildlife viewing but also night sky viewing (wonderful low light gathering capabilities... better than my old Bushnell's).
Justin bought my pair at a now-defunct "Wild Birds Unlimited" store here in San Antonio (they're a chain store, so you may have one near you) but you can also find them at various stores online -- sometimes Amazon.com has them (I checked quickly and it looks like right now they do not) and you might check B&H Photo (bhphotovideo.com) or CameraWorld.com (formerly Camera World of Oregon, now owned and operated by Ritz Camera.) We've bought high end equipment from all three and have had no issues.
Hope this helps!
