For more than three decades, Kevin T. Karlson has been traveling the world
photographing birds and wildlife.
As a noted wildlife photographer, his work is widely published in birding
magazines, journals, as well as books, field guides and calendars, including “Birds
of the Arctic Tundra”. He worked closely with Peter Thayer in creating the CDRom “The Cornell Lab of Ornithology’s Guide to Birds of North America” as head
ornithologist, photo researcher and submitter of almost 800 photos.
In addition to photography, Kevin has also penned various articles on birds.
With Michael O’Brien and Richard Crossley, he co-authored “The Shorebird
Guide”. The book contains almost 700 photos and outlines a simpler method of
bird identification for beginners and experts alike.
