Subject: [SanDiegoRegionBirding] No sighting--question about binoculars for a kid
My neighbor has a 9 y/o son who is very interested in birds. (They are even coming with us to our Christmas Bird Count next Sunday.) They would like to buy him a pair of good, age-appropriate (e.g., size, weight, sturdiness) binoculars. Is there a place where they could actually try out some binoculars and speak with someone knowledgeable about optics? North County would be ideal, since we're in O'side. But for a good shop, anywhere in the county would probably be doable.

Thanks for any suggestions.
