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.
One of Nature's ghastly jokes is illustrated in this bird's domestic life. Two eggs are laid but only one youngster is reared. The power that brings life seems equally interested in ending it, for the first born eliminates the other! To survive, the BOOBY child must crack its shell first.
Birds have been seen entering the water at an acute angle and emerge a few yards further on, still flying.
When food is plentiful, especially flying fish, they gorge until their stomachs will hold no more, retire to an island roost, appoint some sentinels and sleep off the orgy.
Tropical Atlantic Ocean, rarely north to Florida and Gulf of Mexico. Pacific Ocean birds are said to be a subspecies.
