Put a new spin on housewarming gifts for homeowners. Encourage a new hobby or a way to enjoy a bit of outdoor living by gifting a birdhouse, feeder or a bird identification book. There are several options at White Bear Lake’s All Seasons Wild Bird Store and wildbirdstore.com.
Staff points to Birds of Minnesota Field Guide by Stan Tekiela, respected Twin Cities author, naturalist and wildlife photographer. The field guide groups birds by color, making it a great and easy-to-use choice for birdwatchers and children.
