I am new to the hobby but not to the camera... I need to learn about the how to bird and how best to photograph birds. I have a tripped planned to the Outer Banks of NC in November around the time of the "Wings over Water" festival and I wanted to be somewhat learned before I go. I'd hate to be in a tour and be the biggest novice there hehe Also on the way back home I plan to spend at least one day at the Mattamuskeet National Wildlife Refuge.

Books, DVD's, or any educational media.... recommendations and suggestions are greatly appreciated! :)
