I hope I can get some response from this quiet newsgroup.

Although I have been a member of Audubon for more than a year,
this past weekend was my first Audubon group birdwatching trip.
We visited the Tillamook bay area of Oregon.  My 7 x 35 Tasco
binoculars were no match for the spotting scopes that several
other members carried -- and with my less-than-perfect eyesight,
that meant a lot less birding.

I am interested in information and prices on scopes and tripods.
I was advised that Audubon had the best prices, but would like
information of mail-order and catalog showroom purchases.  The
only catalog showroom I know of in Oregon is Jafco -- and there's
always Sears.  Brand and price information would be appreciated.
