Now revered as one of North America's top birders, Kenn Kaufman hit the road at age sixteen and spent a year crisscrossing the country to see as many birds as he could, in a birding competition known as a "big year."

In a new afterword, Kaufman looks at the evolution of bird-listing since his own big year.
