Artie's "The Art of Bird Photography" and "The Art of Bird Photography II" would be a good place to start.

Several books by John Shaw have very good sections on general exposure theory as well.

There's actually a lot of information out there on those two subjects. Magazines have articles on them again and again, not to mention tons of webpages on the internet? If you have done your research already, is there anything in particular that you need help on?

Just found this thread Ann. Google is your best (and FREE) friend. :o

Try the above for starters. The net is full of free information that does not cost a cent and all you need is to be able to read and understand, which I am sure you already do. :)
