Herbert K. Job

Herbert Keightley Job (November 29, 1864 – June 17, 1933) was an American lecturer, bird photographer, conservationist, and writer who worked as an economic ornithologist in Connecticut.

He received a BA from Harvard in 188 and graduated from the Hartford Theological Seminary in 1891 and became a Congressional pastor in N. Middleboro, Massachusetts, and later in Connecticut.

He also established an ornithological station at Amston, Connecticut, and served as a field agent for the Audubon Society in South Carolina.

Job's book Wild Wings (1905) caught the fancy of Theodore Roosevelt who created the Key West National Wildlife Refuge in 1908.

In June 1915, Job accompanied Roosevelt on a visit to the beaches of Louisiana, taking photos which are now archived in the Library of Congress.
