You might have a look at "Manual of Ornithology, Avian Structure and
Function" Noble S. Proctor and Patrick J. Lynch Yale University Press, 1993
ISBN 0-300-05746-6 (cloth)
ISBN 0-300-07619-3 (pbk)
I do not know of any really good small textbooks. The above book is
really good and is basically lab oriented but, covers a great deal and
has very good illustrations.

Wondering, and since I have the opportunity to teach a High School Ornithology
class next year as an advanced Science elective, any suggestions for a nice,
compact, illustrated, even lab oriented textbook? Aside from using a field
guide as a primary text? Syallbus topics to include anatomy, taxonomy,
migration behavior, field biology, etc., and of course identification. mjb
