KENN
KAUFMAN
In 2008, Kenn Kaufman was presented with the
highest honor of the American Birding Association,
the Roger Tory Peterson Award "for a
lifetime of achievements in promoting the
cause of birding" -- although, as he
points out, he isn't finished yet. Kenn burst
onto the birding scene as a teenager, hitch-hiking
around North America in pursuit of birds,
and has gone on to travel and lead nature
tours on all seven continents.
He is a field editor for Audubon and a contributor
to every major birding magazine. Most of his
time, however, has gone into writing books,
such as Kingbird Highway, Flights Against
the Sunset, Lives of North American Birds,
and Advanced Birding. His own Kaufman Field
Guides series now includes volumes on birds
(in English and Spanish), butterflies, mammals,
and insects. He and his wife, Kim, keep busy
with birds and rock music from their base
in northwestern Ohio. |

Quote
from Kenn Kaufman
“I've spent some time in the last few
years wondering why the Good Coffee couldn't
get more traction. Of course, SMBC has the
truth on their side, but their message just
has not broken through. A few of us birders
are passionate about the issue, but haven't
been able to communicate the importance of
drinking 'Bird Friendly'™
coffee. I'm enthusiastic about 'Birds&Beans
the good coffee'™ because I think
this could be the initiative that actually
connects the dots and makes something happen.
And it gives me a chance to work with great
people on a worthwhile project; I feel blessed
to be involved.” |
