This is not a range-finding laser but one that displays a visible dot to show where you’re looking:
“Wow, check out that Prothonotary warbler, a rare specimen. See my red dot? Wait I see yours – move it up to the left. Whoops I blinded him. He’s lying below on the ground now.”

       It's a pity there couldn't be an equivalent for binocular astronomy.   

       "Look at that group of stars!"
"Which one?"
"Just above all those other stars, and left a bit..."

       I thought that too, and was surprised to find that there is. I'll see if I can find a link...

       Doctor come down to the veterinarian office quick!!! There has been a rash, nay, an epidemic of blinded reticulated woodpeckers!!!

       I'm told they tried laser pointer sights on spearguns, but they scared the fish off.
