He has authored four editions of A Birder’s Guide to Minnesota, and has written numerous articles, notes, and seasonal reports for the Minnesota Ornithologists’ Union journal, The Loon, and other publications such as Birding and North American Birds. Kim also operates the Minnesota Birding Weekends program of birding tours, has been a member for three decades of Minnesota’s Records Committee, and for 20 years served as Naturalist at Hawk Ridge Nature Reserve in Duluth. A Minnesota resident since the 1960s, he has resided in Duluth since 1977—winters included.
