Birds at Home: The Birds that Audubon Missed with Kenn Kaufman – AT

Intense competition. Raging ambition. Towering egos. Heroic effort alternating with plagiarism and fraud. That was the state of bird study in eastern North America in the early 1800s, as a few intrepid characters raced to find the last few bird species that were still unknown to science. ​When Kenn Kaufman began delving into this period in ornithological history, he was surprised to see how many events of two centuries ago have a direct connection to our experience of birding today. The book that resulted from his research, The Birds That Audubon Missed, is a celebration of discovery and rediscovery, the lure of the unknown, the complexity of nature, and the endless power of birds to delight and amaze us.
