Ok.  I have been meaning to ask this for some time now.  Since I already
stuck my toe in the pond, so to speak, and found the temperature fine, I
will venture with what may seem trivial to many of you.  Here goes---

How does one get over the feeling of reverse paranoia when using binoculars
in her backyard in the suburbs?  I mean I feel funny running around my yard
and neighborhood using my binoculars.  I am worried the neighbors will think
I am spying on them. (and I am not, HONEST) I have told every neighbor I
have talked to for more than 10 minutes that I am a birder (and put it in
the bi-yearly neighborhood directory).  Do you think that is enough?

Thanks for putting up with me.
