Cyber Monday is tomorrow followed by all types of holidays. If you're considering splurging on a gift, see some recommendations from someone who loves birds more than you. Me!
My name is Jeff and I probably like birds more than you. I've been birding for 10 years, doing bird photography, recording, and blogging (this website). I use and love the following items (mostly gadgets). They are readily available and make great, pricier gifts.
Binoculars that punch above their weight class: Athlon 8x42

Why Jeff loves these bins: the clarity, build quality, and brightness of the binoculars is great.
For the person who watches birds in her backyard: Haikubox
Plug in the Haikubox and it will continuously ID birds it hears
Why Jeff loves Haikubox: Easy to set up and fun to be notified when specific birds visit your yard.
For your friend who goes birdwatching: BirdWeather PUC
I enjoy taking the battery-powered BirdWeather PUC with me while birding to collect recordings and bioacoustic detection data.
Why Jeff loves the PUC: It's designed by bird enthusiasts and embraces creative uses of its data and platform.
For your curious child who wants to learn more about how birds live: Birdfy Nest
The Birdfy Nest is one of the few smart bird nest boxes available.
Why Jeff loves the Birdfy Nest: It's designed by bird enthusiasts and embraces creative uses of its data and platform.
For your uncle who likes birds and gadgets: Bird Buddy Pro
The new Bird Buddy Pro is great refresh of the original smart bird feeder
Why Jeff loves the Bird Buddy: One of the original smart bird gadgets, it takes great pictures and has the best app of all smart bird feeders
For the person who lives for the pursuit of knowledge: Birds of the World Subscription
Birds of the World from Cornell Lab of Ornithology
Why Jeff loves Birds of the World: So much neat info on every bird imaginable on what is basically a subscription to a World-class bird encyclopedia that get continuously updated
