Kenn Kaufman
Kenn Kaufman is recognized as one of the world’s most renowned bird experts. He is the author of a very popular nature field guide series and a highly sought after public speaker. Kenn’s move to this area in fall of 2005 generated much excitement across the country, resulting in thousands of birders visiting this region to enjoy the fabulous birding that this area is now becoming famous for.
A lifelong naturalist, Kenn Kaufman did not really focus on birds until the age of six, but since then he has tried to make up for lost time, pursuing birds in all fifty states and on all seven continents. Now working as a freelance editor, writer, and book producer, he and his wife Kim make their home in Oak Harbor, Ohio.
Kenn is a field editor for Audubon magazine, and writes regular columns for both Bird Watcher’s Digest and Birder’s World magazines. Most of his energy currently goes into book projects, including his own field guide series, Kaufman Field Guides, published by Houghton Mifflin Company of Boston. This series now includes volumes on North American birds, butterflies, mammals, insects, a field guide to Advanced Birding, and most recently, a regional guide to Nature of New England. In spring 2005, the series was expanded to include the first North American bird guide to be published in Spanish. Kenn’s other books include Lives of North American Birds. Kingbird Highway, and Flights Against the Sunset.
He has also written scores of magazine articles and columns on I.D. topics, and has taught I.D. workshops all over the U.S. and Canada. To learn more about the Kaufman Field Guide series visit www.kaufmanfieldguides.com.
