I have to ask you if Leupold Gold Ring Binoculars - are they all they seem to be?

Leupold Katmai 8×32mm Compact Armor Binoculars 56420
I am ready to upgrade my compact binoculars and this is what I am looking at. Since Leupold is in my Five Best Binoculars ratings and I love compact for most of my travels, this has the features I seek plus it is a bit more heavy duty than the compacts I use now. That helps when I am passing them to less experienced folks.

White Winged Wood Duck, specie cairina scutulata, is a species of duck, usually placed in the genus Cairina and allied with the dabbling ducks.

Thus, this species might more appropriately be placed in a monotypic genus, as Asarcornis scutulata, which appears to be... Read Full Story
