ABOUT KENN KAUFMAN
An avid naturalist from the age of six, Kenn Kaufman spent his late teens pursuing birds all over North America, an adventure later chronicled in his cult-classic book Kingbird Highway.
After several years as a professional leader of international birding tours, he shifted to a career as a writer, editor, and illustrator. Most of his energy currently goes into writing books and painting bird portraits.
His 14 books include seven titles in his own series, Kaufman Field Guides, designed to make the first steps in nature study as easy as possible. His most recent book, The Birds That Audubon Missed, was published in May 2024.
Kenn is a field editor for the National Audubon Society and a Fellow of the American Ornithological Society, and the only person to have received the American Birding Association’s lifetime achievement award twice
