Kim became an English major at St. John's University in Minnesota and then taught English (with some first-year French on the side) during the 1970s. But he turned to a career in birding after moving to Duluth, Minnesota, in 1977, where he served as Naturalist at Hawk Ridge Nature Reserve (for a total of 20 years), taught bird identification classes for a decade, and started leading birding tours (including 30 years with Victor Emanuel Nature Tours). In 1986, he created the Minnesota Birding Weekends \u0026amp; Weeks program of tours throughout Minnesota and elsewhere in the US and Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKim has written numerous articles for \u003ci\u003eThe Loon\u003c\/i\u003e and other publications; plus \u003ci\u003eBirding by Hindsight\u003c\/i\u003e, a compilation of \u003ci\u003eThe Loon's\u003c\/i\u003e series of 70 bird ID articles; and four previous editions of \u003ci\u003eA Birder's Guide to Minnesota\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter 45 years, he still lives in Duluth, where he muses about the Great Plains, prefers not to take anything too seriously, finds joy in not knowing where he is going, reminisces about the times with Bob and Panda... and thinks about things.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 472\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.2 x 9.9 x 8.6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 20, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44289336213606,"sku":"9781735349916","price":48.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/U3crQWpQZVZ4Tkd6SDRITHBDbTIwQT09.webp?v=1766746037","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/a-birders-guide-to-minnesota-a-county-by-county-guide-to-over-1-400-birding-locations-paperback","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
