Winging it: Kenn Kaufman is an extreme birder who’s been at it since the ‘60s, when he dropped out of high school and hit the road in pursuit of feathered creatures. The author, artist, naturalist, and conservationist’s career really took flight when he won 1973’s Big Year birding competition and set the record for most North American bird species spotted in a year. He will virtually discuss his latest book, A Season on the Wind: Inside the World of Spring Migration, with birding photographer and author Pete Myers as part of the Virginia Festival of the Book’s Shelf Life series.
