    Hello from San Francisco

    Hi All, I have been birding since I was very in middle school, but life got in the way for the past 15 years and I haven't been out much. Recently relocated to Northern California and all the wilderness and natural beauty are drawing me outdoors more. Looking to get into digiscoping and...
