[mou-net] bird biology text?

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,

Re: [mou-net] bird biology text?

Rick-- I used Thayer Birding Software's Birds of North America DVD when I taught. It has a textbook of sorts embedded in it. The textbook is OK, but not well illustrated. On the other hand, the DVD is full of wonderful photographs, bird calls and range maps. I used the quiz module to build

Re: [mou-net] bird biology text?

The standard text is Frank Gill's /Ornithology/, which has a new edition out in the last couple years (meaning you can either use the new edition, with updated info, or get the old edition for relatively cheap). It is a thorough survey of most aspects of bird biology, though there's little in

This morning at Carpenter Nature Center (Washington Co) we banded a Baltimore oriole that was very yellow. The only hint of orange was the orangy-yellow upper chest - otherwise nor orange at all. I've never seen such a yellowish Baltimore oriole. How about others out there? I put a photo on

At 19:16 this evening, an adult Pacific Loon in breeding plumage flew by me at Stoney Point, St. Louis County. The bird was heading from Duluth towards Knife River, so it could possibly be the same one I found at Park Point in Duluth on the morning of 26 May. Although a regular fall migrant in
