Another great resources is Buteo Books. I started buying from them when I was studying for my falconry license.

Many years ago I discovered Hawks, Owls, and Wildlife by John and Frank Craighead http://amzn.to/hO5wM0. It gives you some great insight into hawk hunting ranges.

I can not think where to start in this group, I have a habit on occasion to peruse the bookshelves in charity shops scanning the numerous mundane titles for  books by naturalists, these I am sorry to say do not appear as often as I would like, 

 One of my best purchases was a book called Bird Watching Days written by a pair of Bird photographers in the 1960s. 

 An interesting book revealing their exploits in photographing several bird species.

Not sure what is expected of me in this group-look forward to further comments by other members.

With regards to books i would like to recommend 'Crow Country' by Mark Cocker-all about our corvids with historical information and observations made by the author.A great read and gives a new perspective on this much maligned family of birds.
