About Us

May 2022 Late last month we attended the Delmarva Birding Weekend and enjoyed fair weather and a modest number of birds and water fowl. What struck me was how nice birding people are. As we were all leaving the battery in our car was dead – really a goner – and it took no time for a friendly birder to help. Gene opened the hood to our car, our helper pull his car next to ours, popped his hook and hooked up his jumber cable to our dead battery. That’s all it took. We were very grateful to a nice guy from Massachusetts.

Here’s a link to a picture of the Delmarva Birding Weekend in our article about attending bird walks in May https://www.bringbinoculars.com/birding/may-2022-birding-events/.

We’re Gene and Katie Hamilton, the creators of BringBinoculars.com and we’re happy to have you join us.  We’ve been using binoculars and writing about them for as long as we can remember.  As boating and travel writers we’re authors of Coastal Cruising Under Power (McGraw Hill) and Practical Boating Skills (Hearst Marine Books). And we’ve written hundreds of magazine articles along the way. 

Katie is a member of the Outdoor Writers Association of America (OWAA).

Our other interest is home improvements so we’re long-time syndicated columnist for Tribune Publishing. We’re also authors of Home Improvement for Dummies© (Wiley) and Fix It and Flip It (McGraw Hill).

BringBinoculars.com is the third website we’ve built. The first two – Housenet.com and diyornot.com – are about home improvements.

Today we’ve grown to realize and appreciate the many uses and benefits of binoculars in all our travels and interests, so we decided to share what we’ve learned with you and others at bringbinoculars.com. 

We’d like to hear how you use binoculars, so please share your comments, suggestions and ideas with us at mail@bringbinoculars.com.
