St. Martins has a paperback US Birds book, which I have discussed under Small guide books.
Their other books are good for a quick overview or for kids. They cover only US species typically.
Have not seen this yet:
Birds of Prey of the World
A Golden Guide from St. Martin's Press Whittley, Sarah Golden Guides from St. Martin's Press 0-312-32239-9
$6.95 [I probably have all these birds in other books, but nice to compare the topic world wide in a small book]
Pond Life: A Guide to Common Plants and Animals of North American Ponds and Lakes (Golden Guide)
Mammals: A Guide to Familiar American Species
Insects: A Guide to Familiar American Insects (Golden Guide)
Butterflies and Moths: A Guide to the More Common American Species (Golden Guide)
There are a few on birds, I have not tracked them all down. One I have that I like is on Rain Forests. I left it somewhere, misplaced. I will give the author if anyone is interested.
Another is Bird Life, by Stephen Kress. Well worth the $6 price.
short Amazon Review:
Although small in size, this book covers all the aspects of the lives of birds. Everything from nesting to migration. There's more to birding than just identification, and this book is a good start for that step beyond. Also has good illustrations. Recommended.
