Golden Field Guide (1966) in which I recorded sightings beginning 1971.

I often refer to The Birder’s Handbook by P. Ehrlich, D. Dobkin, and D.
Wheye

Beautiful Beachcombers Shorebirds by Arthur Morris for photography and text..

The Crisskwy ID Guide Raptors by Richard Crossley, J Liguori, B. Sullivan
for photography to help hone raptor ID immature to adult, perched and in
flight. A fabulous tool!
