Onee of my New Years"s resolutions is to add more informaion on birding to our website. As a lifelong birder, I firmly believe that everyone can and will enjoy birding if given half a chance and a good start. Since equipment is part of getting a good start, that's where I come in. As a published author on optics and birding, former birding tour guide, seminar presenter, and science teacher, I have the ability to blab on and on about these topics till the wee hours of the night. I promise not to keep anyone up that late (unless he is good looking, available and ...) since I know everyone's time is valuable. Still, if anyone want's to talk birding or optics, I am always available.
