Friends in the Meadow

Some of the most useful and fun equipment items for bird watchers include cameras and binoculars and the accessories for them. For your child or grandchild, consider a combination gift including the book, Friends in the Meadow-Birds, and one or more of the items on this page. No doubt, it will be a gift they’ll remember. The book gets them started, the equipment keeps them going and interested in the hobby. A quote (with permission) from my grandson’s birding journal, “I love birds. Birds are pretty. I love my Nana. She taught me a lot of stuff. I got over twenty birds on my life list now. She gave me her book and binoculars for my eighth birthday. That was cool.” Another quote, “I snuck up on two morning doves. I have learned that they are not that intelligent. Because I got so close to them that when I looked at them with binoculars they got blurry.” (He’s still learning how to use them!) What amazes me most is that in about three months he is so into birding that he keeps a journal. Not bad for eight years of age. You will be responsible for enhancing their interest in birding, nature, green living, the environment and who knows what else they may wonder into. You may even be creating a scientist! So go ahead, make their gift one that will enhance their interest in nature and the care of our world! A gift that will last!

These binoculars are small enough for the younger child's hands. They are great ones for the new young birder to learn about using binoculars. Plenty of time for upgrading as they grow older. The kids really like using them for birding and other outside adventures!
