Subject: TICKETS STILL AVAILABLE! Kenn Kaufman presentation at the UW -
10/23


> Seattle Audubon Society presents:
>
> The Secret Lives of Birds and Birders
> --An Evening with Kenn Kaufman
> Author of Birds of North America and Kingbird Highway
> Monday, October 23, 7:00PM
> Kane Hall, Room 120, at the UW
>
> Kenn Kaufman-- author, painter, and birder-extraordinaire--comes to
> Seattle to share his outlook and his insights on birds and birders and
> birding. As one of America's foremost birders, Kenn is a field editor at
> Audubon and a regular contributor to every major birding magazine.
>
> Kenn's interest in birds is longstanding and unusually intense. Kenn hit
> the road at age sixteen, and hitchhiked back and forth across North
> America, traveling eighty thousand miles in a year, simply to see as
> many birds as he could. Kingbird Highway was the book he wrote about
> those early travels. Now, a few decades later and with much of the world
> under his belt, he has many stories to tell about the birds and the
> birders he has met. This will be a very interesting night!
>
> Kenn will be available to sign his excellent new field guide, Birds of
> North America, just released by Houghton-Mifflin. This is the first
> field guide in decades that is intended not for the expert but for
> anyone curious about the natural world. Birds of North America combines
> photographs and state-of-the-art digital editing to make sure that bird
> identification is accessible to everyone. Frank Gill of the National
> Audubon Society says, "Wow! Bird identification made easy!" Copies will
> be on sale that evening.
>
> Doors open for book-signing at 7:00PM. The presentation and slide show
> start at 7:30PM, Kane Hall, Room 120, on the University of Washington
> campus. You'll find convenient parking in the parking garage--enter off
> 15th NE at NE 41st.
>
> Tickets go on sale Wednesday, September 13th. Tickets are $15 and can
> be purchased from the Seattle Audubon Society by calling 206-523-4483
> from 10:00AM-4:00PM, Monday through Saturday. They may also be purchased
> at the door, however seating is limited. Please join us for this special
> night!
