In case there is some one you know who shares similar interest, you could buy them something which would help them with their leisure pursuit. To answer that, you have to know what they bring along every time they had out into the woods.

Probably a hat is one of the easiest and least expensive items to buy. Not only would this gift can help prevent the glare of the sun and protect them from its rays. The next item could be a pair of cargo pants with many pockets so they can put snacks and other items inside.

If none of these ideas work for you, have you ever thought of buying an ornithologist a one year subscription to a bird watching periodical? Published monthly (sometimes quarterly), they are able to see pictures of birds which frequent distant places around the world. The ultimate gift for someone who has the available funds is a bird watching vacation. Of the many thousands of species of birds, only a fraction of these are indigenous to the US, many never visit the continent at all.
