Matthew,

Something I've heard highly recommended in multiple places is "The Aviary"
by David Bagsby.  "A collection of field recordings digitized and
orchestrated.  Actual birdsongs control the melody, rhythm and dynamics
while the sounds are conventional instruments."  I've been meaning to order
it and check it out.  Available from Creative Musicians Coalition
800-882-4262.
