Perhaps someone out there has a list of good field guides for 
birds of all the other continents besides good ol' North
America.

For example, on Sunday I am going to Stockton to search for a bird
called a Tundra swan, but said swan is not in my N. Amer. field
guide -- but for the company of an experienced birder, how could
I identify this swan?
