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.
