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.
BANDTAIL PIGEONS range during summer over a wide section of the western states but concentrate during winter in settled regions wherever their food of fruit and acorns is available, and were formerly killed or netted in numbers. As they raise an average of but one young a season, this slaughter soon decreased them to the point of extinction. The Federal migratory law gave them a respite but complete removal from the Game Bird List is all which will save these fine birds from the Passenger Pigeons' fate — the road to Valhalla!
