Description

This group is designed as a forum for birdwatchers to talk about the tools they use every day, their optics.
Primarily, this list will provide discussion of binoculars and spotting scopes. Other birding related topics, like digiscoping and offers to buy and sell birding equipment are encouraged, so long as they relate to birdwatching.
Under no circumstances should members use this forum for unsolicited commercial announcements. Members sending SPAM will be immediately removed from the list without warning.
