Ryan, If you want a very general text you might try: Practical Field Ecology, A Project Guide by Wheater eta l. and published by Wiley-Blackwell
If you want something specific to vertebrates you could try: http://www.lulu.com/shop/james-ryan/field-and-laboratory-techniques-in-vertebrate-biology/paperback/product-18944438.html and then there is Ecological Methodology by Charles Krebs published by Addison Wesley Longman (not sure if it’s still in print). Hope this is a starting point.
