Bruce,
Try any one of following: "The Bird Almanac: The Ultimate Guide to Essential
Facts and Figures of the World's Birds" by David M. Bird; or "10,001
Titillating Tidbits of Avian Trivia" by Frank S. Todd; or "The Birder's
Handbook: A Field Guide to the Natural History of North American Birds" by
Paul R. Ehrlich et al.
