One of the best things about birding is that it requires almost nothing: just a bird nearby to admire. But for those looking to elevate their experience at home or in the field, 探花精选 has had no shortage of recommendations. From DIY projects like how to fashion your own birdhouses from cigar boxes, tomato cans, or gourds (a 1952 article advised readers: for the best selection, grow your own!) to the latest advances in photography and outdoor gear, we’ve covered it all. On the occasion of our magazine’s 125th anniversary, our editors pored over our archives and scoured the internet to find items, both vintage and modern, that we’ve featured over the years. The result: a pan-historic buyer's guide.
