Hi Mike,
A few questions might be in order regarding yuour new binoculars;
What is your price range? How much are you willing to spend?
What size works best for you, mid-size (8x32's etc.) or full size (8x42's/10x 42's, etc.)? Compacts (probably not though)?
Do you wear eyeglasses?
Would these be your primary or only pair or used as a back-up?
Do you bird a lot at dawn or dusk?
Waterproof or no?
Finally, I would certainly check out Eagle Optics for anything I thought about purchasing. They have a great selection, great service and very speedy delivery. I have purchased multiple pairs from them and always been very satisfied.

Subject: [MDOSPREY] binocular suggestions wanted
Good morning all I am in the market for a new set of binoculars which will
e used for work purposes as well as birding. I would like to solicit some
uggestions from the list regarding brands, sizes etc. Any help will be
reatly appreciated.
Also for anyone interested I'm a little late posting this but if you have
ccess to a boat and can get out to Ft. Carroll the little stone fort in the
atapsco near the Key Bridge held a nice assortment of birds on Friday
ugust 12.
I had a Great Egret, several immature night herons of undetermined species,
t least two and possibly three immature Little Blue herons (I think) a
arge number of cormorants and some common gulls. The Lesser Black backed
ull continues to elude me though. The one concrete pier off of North Point
tate Park with the three concrete barges in front of it had several of the
arger terns on it they looked they were Caspians to me.
Thanks in advance, Mike
