A text that comes to hand is
Bird Navigation    G V T Matthews
(Cambridge Monographs on Exp. Biology, CUP)

When last I spoke to him, perhaps 20 years ago, Dr 
Matthews was looking round for someone to provide
an updated text.
And there HAVE been more recent texts, but sorry,
I don't have them on hand.

 I suspect that a young person might be attracted by 
the morsels on bird navigation and on general ethology
that appeared in periodicals like New Scientist and of 
course   SciAmerican.

I sometimes feel like a laser disk with a failed servo track ***
when I mention Scientific American: they have run a piece 
on most topics of scientific interest, over time.

*** that's the 90's version of
'a record player stuck in a groove,'
 btw...
