At sixteen, Kenn Kaufman dropped out of the high school where he
was student council president and hit the road, hitching back and
forth across America, from Alaska to Florida, Maine to Mexico.
Maybe not all that unusual a thing to do in the seventies, but what
Kenn was searching for was a little different: not sex, drugs, God,
or even self, but birds. A report of a rare bird would send him
hitching nonstop from Pacific to Atlantic and back again. When he
was broke he would pick fruit or do odd jobs to earn the fifty
dollars or so that would last him for weeks. His goal was to set a
record - most North American species seen in a year - but along the
way he began to realize that at this breakneck pace he was only
looking, not seeing. What had been a game became a quest for a
deeper understanding of the natural world. Kingbird Highway is a
unique coming-of-age story, combining a lyrical celebration of
nature with wild, and sometimes dangerous, adventures, starring a
colorful cast of characters.
