The Wild Birds Unlimited stores have bird seed, feeders, binoculars, books, and accessories. My first choice in the area. They carry the Vortex line of binoculars, which I’ve found to be excellent value for money.
If you’re in the Mendocino area in the county north of us, The Science Store has an excellent selection of binoculars and other optics and very knowledgeable salespeople.
