Ornithology is one of the greatest pastimes because it enables you to meet like minded people, watch and learn about birds, know their species, while spending some quality time in the country.
If there is any one you know who is also into this, present them with a birthday gift which can be used when they are spending time carrying out their hobby. What types of gifts do these people like? To understand this, study the kind of things they use when they go to watch the birds.
Perhaps if you give the person a hat, that would be a present that doesn't cost the earth. This gift would act to prevent sunburn and help them improve their vision.
Another idea could be to find a pair of 'combat' pants which has a lot of pockets as they can accommodate many items conveniently.
Another cool item which has even more storage is a bird watching vest. For easy access to a cellular phone, water and map etc. these vests cannot be bettered.
If you know their back pack is already worn out, perhaps you get can them a new one. Though backpacks are available in various sizes you would only need a small day sack since these people need to travel light.
The most costly gift idea for a bird enthusiast is a pair of binoculars. Quality binoculars are costly because of the optics involved which allow the bird watcher to see the birds from a distance with great clarity. You can get plenty of features in binoculars; expensive versions allow lenses to be interchanged and some can be used to take pictures and videos even.
Bird watching journals are used by most enthusiasts, after all how else would they keep account of what birds they've seen and where; this could be a great gift.
A subscription to a bird watching periodical might also be welcomed. Most are published each monthly, and these magazines carry pictures of birds found in remote places from the Antarctic to the Amazon.
The ultimate gift for a bird watcher can be a bird watching vacation, provided you've the available funds for this expensive gift. Of all the varieties of birds, there are still vast numbers that live outside of America although some might visit during certain seasons.
Unless you talk to the recipient first and interpret their needs, you can never determine which gifts would be most appreciated. A short conversation will already give you a lot of ideas, and then you barely have to pick the right one that's within your budget and meaningful to the person.
After the time spent finding the right gift, it may light a desire in you to start bird watching in the future. Rather than just supporting that person, you could soon join them on excursions!
