Johann Andreas Naumann

Johann Andreas Naumann (13 April 1744 – 15 May 1826) was a German farmer and an amateur naturalist. He was the father of the ornithologist Johann Friedrich Naumann and the forester Carl Andreas Naumann (1786–1854). Along with his eldest son J.F. Naumann, he wrote a landmark book on the birds of Germany entitled Naturgeschichte der Vögel Deutschlands (1804), and his name has been commemorated in the Latin names of the birds lesser kestrel, Falco naumanni, and the Naumann's thrush, Turdus naumanni.
