A team of dedicated board members, volunteers, and student interns has published every page in Volume 9. This volume includes 360 images of paintings and lyrical descriptions of birds, now available online for everyone to enjoy anywhere in the world. This is a monumental task. Each volume requires approximately 400 hours to photograph, edit, transcribe, catalog, and publish online. We need your support to complete this work.
If you're tech-savvy, have a good eye, are meticulous with details, and love structured data, please consider volunteering by emailing us at hello@rexbrasher.org.
We encourage all bird lovers and supporters to consider a monetary donation to support our mission to make Rex's work available for everyone. You can provide a one-time or recurring donation online.
Bent considers this a distinct species and if range is the deciding factor he is correct. I have retained its status as a subspecies because coloration is scarcely different from the Purple Sandpiper. Nelson says the courting song is a clear hard whistling note, not unlike the trill of a tree frog, given while the Bird hovers on vibrating wings ten or fifteen yards up. Hanna states they are very common on St. George and St. Matthew Islands, Alaska; and prefer elevations up to 500 feet for their nests which are placed in reindeer moss and extremely difficult to locate.
