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 See less
