Here is an excellent book on basic birding but it does not skimp on complexities. Advanced birders can take a lot away from it, too. It is illustrated primarily with 221 high-quality photographs but also has numerous paintings, maps, charts, and tables plus an authoritative text. It's a top-of-the-line guide to how to become a birder, and how to improve once you get there.
