Now revered as one of North America's top birders, Kenn Kaufman hit the road at age sixteen and spent a year crisscrossing the country to see as many birds as he could, in a birding competition known as a "big year." In what has become a classic among birders, this memoir chronicles the subculture of birding in the 1970s and a young man's search for his place in the world. In a new afterword, Kaufman looks at the evolution of bird-listing since his own big year.Kaufman, Kenn is the author of 'Kingbird Highway The Biggest Year in the Life of an Extreme Birder', published 2006 under ISBN 9780618709403 and ISBN 0618709401.
