A Night with Kenn Kaufman

Presented by Columbus Audubon

Author & Naturalist

The American Birding Association recently presented Kenn Kaufman with its
lifetime achievement award for the second time -

a surprising development, he says, because he's not finished yet. Kenn burst
onto the North American birding scene as a teenager

in the 1970s, hitch-hiking all over the continent in pursuit of birds, an
adventure later chronicled in his cult-classic book Kingbird Highway.



After working as a leader of nature tours to all seven continents, he made a
transition into a career as a freelance writer and naturalist. Kenn is now a
field editor for Audubon magazine, and writes regular columns for both Bird
Watcher's Digest and BirdWatching magazines. However, most of his energy
currently goes into book projects, including his own field guide series,
Kaufman Field Guides, published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Company of
Boston. This series now includes volumes on North American birds (in both
English and Spanish), butterflies, mammals, and insects, plus the latest
volume, Kaufman Field Guide to Advanced Birding, published in 2011. His
other books include Lives of North American Birds and Flights Against the
Sunset.



In 2005 he moved from Arizona to northwestern Ohio, where his wife Kimberly
is executive director of the Black Swamp Bird Observatory. His new home is a
stone's throw from the world-famous bird migration hotspot of Magee Marsh,
and Kenn is now struggling to write a book that will capture the spectacle
of that migration.



Meet Kenn Kaufman at Wild Birds Unlimited on Riverside Drive for a book
signing and refreshments from 12 - 2 pm.

Then, join Columbus Audubon for their feature presentation by acclaimed
author & naturalist, Kenn Kaufman.

Kenn's presentation begins at 7 pm, and concludes with a book signing.
