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.
The deeptoned whoo-who-who-oo-to-who-ah heard on winter nights tells that the BARRED OWLS are preparing for action. Imitation of these notes will often bring a curious bird from its lurking nook. They are more voluble on moonlit nights and I have called them so close that the soft whir of pinions as they sheered off was plainly audible.
They can catch and eat members of the family just as readily as they would a rabbit. Screech Owls are their favorite dainties! They are birds of impulsive courage and there are several authentic records of battles with Goshawks where both contestants perished.
Some naturalists believe they have a series of aberrant calls and screeches a la wildcat.. This may be individual or it may be the voiced-objection of a Longear to being eaten!
During February and March I have heard discordant cracklings and a kind of saturnine laughter but the final who-ah always betrayed the author.
