Try Sibley's Bird Guide - that's generally reckoned to be the best field guide for N American birds, tho' the National Geographic runs it a close second.
Sad to say (for you anyway!) neither is quite up to the standard of either Collins Bird Guide or Jonsson's Birds of Europe, that get the top ratings over on this side of the Pond.
It is ashame and confusing when your books don't show juveniles. I have National Audubon field guide for the Eastern Region but I really don't care for it. The photos are in the first half of the book and the info in the second half.
The males and females of the same species are not even pictured on the same page.
I have to admit I don't bother with it much anymore; I'd prefer a much more easy to use guide.
