    Greetings from Maryland

    Hello, all. I have been lurking about on the forum for a little over a year now. I first discovered the site while trying to narrow down the binoculars to buy for my birdwatching wife, and the forum threads and experiences shared here were so informative. We live in Central Maryland, not far...
