Hi. This is Daniel Bastaja. There have been a few postings recently asking for binocular recommendations. I have a website for
beginner to intermediate birders at www.birdingfaqs.com If you click on "Birding Optics" on the Table of Contents, you will find a
discussion of various aspects of binoculars and telescopes, as well as some locations to buy and check out optics.

The info might be too basic for some, and also, everything on the site represents personal opinion, but I thought I would mention it
anyway. Some of you may be able to glean some useful information as you search for the perfect optics.

Regards,
Daniel Bastaja
