Tom and All,
Are you looking for a reference book that would have all answers you could just
look up when you have a question about bird behavior, or a good read? I don't
know of any general bird behavior reference that would also answer your example
question. If that one is a burning question though, a lot of birders here would
be able to chime in with their thoughts, but I'd also recommend Rare Birds of
North America by by Steve N.G. Howell, Ian Lewington, and Will Russell.
Good Birding,
Rich

Anyone have recommendations for an in-depth look at Bird Behavior across the
Bird Families?
I had taken the Cornell Ornithology home study course in the late 90’s but
between multiple moves seem to have lost that material and now it’s online
and has been updated; so, I’d have to purchase again. It also doesn’t go deep
into behavior.
I’m looking for a more in-depth look not the basic info. Birds of the World
has a good overview but still doesn’t go deep enough.
An example of an edge case would be why do some rarities stick around all
winter while some just pass through in a 24-hour period. I understand the
basics of why but am wondering if there’s something more or is it simply food
and breeding. Maybe that’s what I’m looking for, the nuances / edge cases.
There are many resources on Amazon for instance but they all seem to be
general info.
thanks
