Seem to be important themes. I thought of them when I saw this video.
I must get a camera. And then of course be in the right place at the right time with my binoculars and digital video camera.
It made me think of the Red Tail Hawk and Eagle chase I saw last fall.
Honestly there is SO much happening in the natural world around us it is hard to imagine a DULL day!

I have to ask you if Leupold Golden Ring Binoculars – are they all they seem to be?
Recently I shared about my favored Leupold Katmai Compact Binoculars, so you know I have a preference for compacts. These are 10X32. So they are a little larger, weigh a little more and have more magnification and more field of vision than the compacts do.
Remember what the numbers mean? The 10X means you see the object 10 times the size it is. The 32 means the size of the lens opening, 32 mm. You can see more about what these numbers mean here.
Gold Ring Binoculars
Made in America. That is nice. I have heard birders discussing how that is a genuine sales feature because so many binoculars are made in in Europe. I guess there is a bit of pride in having good optics here too.
Who uses them? Continue reading
I have added several sections to this site and in the process some folks have begun to wonder what happened to all of my birding binoculars reviews. I assure you they are still here.
BUT to make them easier to find, I decided to post a list of them right here and now. I will be sure to add this information to the links page as well. I hope this helps you with your search for fine quality AND affordable binoculars for birdwatching.

Another person asked me if I actually review these binoculars in person, like at a store.
The answer to that is yes and no. I do not often find the specific brands in stores near where I live. But I DO find a wide variety of birding binoculars wherever birders are gathered. I make it a point to try them out, hands-on. I have done this for a LONG time. So with the exception of the newest digital models I have used or investigated most brands of binoculars in my career as a park ranger-naturalist.
So, yes, my reviews are authentic and personal. And my birding ecourse is 100% home made and professional in content.
