Does anyone know of any books on North American birds that have range maps that show the full range of the birds? The maps in the guides I have show where the birds occur strictly in North America. I'd like to find a book that shows where our migrating feathered friends spend their winter & that shows the full range of pelagic birds that occur here. I don't know if such a book exist but if anyone knows of one please let me know.

Thanks - Greg

Good question, my Guides only show North America (U.S., Canada, and border region of Mexico in Texas and the Baja).  Also, some of the Islands in the Gulf near Florida.

I haven't seen any that show the extent of the Winter ranges down into South America.

Hmm... I can't recall ever having seen a guide book with complete ranges, but if you don't need to have it in the field, Cornell has full maps in their species accounts on their All About Birds site:
