Saving Nature, Awakening Wonder.

Cliff's Book Rec: Kingbird Highway

Part 9 of our winter “Staff Picks” series  I decided to revisit one of my favorite books for this series. I first read Kingbird Highway in 1998, when I was just starting my career and getting interested in birds. The book describes a young man’s passion for birds, but more than that, it is a chronicle of living on the road. Kenn Kaufman hitchhiked across the country in 1973, setting the North American bird record for the most North American bird species seen in one year.
