One excellent resource for you is the Adobe Help Manual, you can find this in the header bar across the top where the menus are. The link takes you to the Adobe Manual. Reading the entire Adobe manual through first, before reading any books or watching any videos, is a great way to learn the basics of the program and will help you to understand the books and videos to follow. Learning how to manage in the Library Module is the key to success in the program, this module is the base module from which everything else follows to some some degree. LrC actually has seven modules, or applications, all in one and learning how to mange the Library Module first will help when you want to use the other modules. In the Develop Module you can start out with an image by clicking on the Auto button, this will set a black and white balance, it also adds saturation and vibrance so you may need to set that back to 0, depending on the image. From that point you can start to use the other sliders, experiment and don't expect to get perfect right away. To date, I've processed over 17,000 photos and I'm still learning new things. You will love the masking ability in LrC for wildlife, it is incredible. Good luck.
