by Ken Janes (Author)

Wading birds, raptors, waterfowl, pelicans, gulls & terns, shorebirds, and songbirds. These are the types of birds Florida birdwatchers can see and learn about in Ken Janes' stunning photobook Florida Birds: A Birdwatcher Discovers the Sunshine State. With all original photography by Janes and informational sections for each bird listed, those interested in the year-long hobby of Florida birdwatching will be able to not only learn key facts from this book but also display it in their homes as a piece of photo art.

Birdwatching and other birding activities are seasonal in most parts of the country but can take place year-round in Florida because of the warmer climate. Janes, a Mainer until winter when he travels to his Florida home, shows northerners and southerners alike what unique aviary life can be found in the Sunshine State. Janes takes a conservationist approach to his work and makes it clear to readers how certain species of birds have been negatively affected by harmful practices and chemicals, like the effect of DDT on Osprey.

Author Biography

After a 35-year career in General and Vascular surgery, Ken Janes retired to Kennebunk Beach, Maine, where he has continued his long interest in photography. An avid conservationist, his primary focus has been wildlife and bird photography. Several photos have been used by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and Maine Audubon and many have been donated to local conservation groups. Ken and his wife Sandy moved to Kennebunk ten years ago where birding and bird photography has become a full-time passion leading to his first book, Life List: Field Notes of a Maine Birdwatcher. Now that they are spending the winter months in Florida, Ken has assembled his Florida photos into a new book called Florida Birds: A Birdwatcher Discovers the Sunshine State. These books are designed to show even the most casual reader the diversity of bird life that can be found in our own backyards. While not intended to be a comprehensive guide, they cover a wide variety of bird species and point out the beauty of these fabulous creatures. Hopefully this will create a new awareness of the need to protect birds and their habitats for generations to come
