The Five Best Father's Day Gifts -- The Bird Theme

Why are men so hard to shop for? Me? I'm easy. Get me a nice book or a sweater from the GAP and I'm happy. Men are a little trickier. Here are our top five gifts for dear old dad with a birding theme.



1. My husband talks walks with the kids in the park with The Sibley Field Guide to Birds of Eastern North America in his back pocket.

2. The little birds go wild for the Cupola Feeder hanging from our garage roof. The mean Blue Jays get nada.

3. My dad has the Audubon Singing Bird Clock in his offce. The clock cheeps on the hour every hour. He finds it very festive.

4. An audio field guide of bird songs -- Bird Song Identiflyer. Susan's stepdad sits in his backyard in Maryland learning the bird's songs. It must be good to be retired.

5. Binocularsare a must for any bird themed gift.

There is no doubt that these could be father's day gifts from daughter. I know it very well because my sis gave some of these gifts to my father.
