Very good but old edition

This is perhaps the definitive overview of bird sampling. Extremely comprehensive, it covers most conventional sampling methods and explicitly lists the assumptions, typical procedures, advantages, and disadvantages of each. It doesn't shy away from the issue of detectability bias, though it doesn't go into depth on that topic (I recommend Buckland's book for that), which is an important consideration that other similar publications tend to gloss over (Ralph 1995, Verner).
