You may have heard about the amazingly cooperative Kirtland’s Warbler that let itself be seen by thousands of birders during the Biggest Week in American Birding. But did you hear the story of how it was found and how the word got out? Well, Kenn Kaufman, who found the bird and got the word out, has the story (not surprisingly).
Corey is a New Yorker who lived most of his life in upstate New York but has lived in Queens since 2008. He's only been birding since 2005 but has garnered a respectable life list by birding whenever he wasn't working as a union representative or spending time with his family. He lives in Forest Hills with Daisy and Desmond Shearwater. His bird photographs have appeared on the Today Show, in Birding, Living Bird Magazine, Bird Watcher's Digest, and many other fine publications. He is also the author of the American Birding Association Field Guide to the Birds of New York.
