Sibley's WHAT'S IT LIKE TO BE A BIRD even better than earlier volume
already cited...glorious illustrations...explains why eagles have
found fovea, etc.
For corvids, the books by John Marzluff are even better than heinrich's
classics on ravens

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
