If you aren't already familiar with his work, look up Robert Michael Pyle. Specifically, Mariposa Road. His book is butterflies instead of birds, but the way he tells the story is enthralling.
It isn't just a list of butterflies--it's a travelogue complete with mischief, triumph, tragedy, a lot of localized (to a given site) natural and cultural history, and more than a little local color.
I do like butterflies, but the reason I finished the book was that it was a story and not just a list or some pictures (no pictures, actually). The reader learned about his "tiniest RV on the road (a modified Honda sedan)", the difference between nekkid and naked, fascinating locals, being broke, finding obscure places not on the map, not finding well known places marked on every map...sunsets and all-nighters--you get the idea.
Hope that helps--if nothing else I just added a new author to your reading list--sorrynotsorry!
