Quaility bird watching magazines are available for every level of birding interest you may have.
Most have full color photographs and informative articles about feeding, planting, and houses for wild birds.
The only problem is trying to narrow down the list. While these are not by any means the only ones available or recommended, they are the three I most highly recommend.
All three are affordable and informative, making them great gifts for yourself or a birdwatching friend. A brief description and subscription information is provided below.
The three I most recommend are: Birds and Blooms, Birdwatchers Digest, and Birders World.

Each issue offers answers to readers questions on birds and plants.

One of the nicest features is the "Time For A Walk" pictorial. A great gift for any bird watcher or flower gardener. Offers readers a chance to write in and
ask other readers questions like where to find heirloom seeds and plants. A real community magazine where readers can feel at home.
