At the ranch, we would pursue this interest in bird-watching! It definitely fit our setting next to our old woods.

Gift Package Ideas for Bird Watching

• Bird Book: Published in 1994, The National Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Birds, Eastern Region is a lovely book.
• Garden Plaque: It was a very hot, humid day in Central Illinois when Uncle Max tilled the ground for Dad’s Garden.
• Bird Bath: We purchased our bird bath from a local landscaping company. It looked very similar to this one found on Amazon.
• Bird Feeder: Being close to the woods, many trees, and squirrels, we soon replaced our first bird feeder and bought one that was advertised as “squirrel resistant.”
• Shepherd Hook: One of our very generous caregivers brought her shepherd hook from her garage for us to use with these early birdfeeders.
• Red Flag Tabs: In the book, we used red tabs to mark those birds which frequently returned to the feeder.
• Bird Food: As we observed the turnout of an array of diverse birds at the birdfeeder, we began to see a connection between the kind of bird food du jour – and the size of the turnout!
• Birding Hat: From the kitchen sink, we had a wonderful perspective on the birds at the feeder and we did not really need a hat.
• Binoculars: We were so close to the birds that we did not need binoculars!
• GPS: For caregivers, those who travel within a region to deliver care to an always-changing caseload – this would be an ideal gift.
