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.
BLUEWINGS are among the most prolific Ducks and when the dozen or more young birds of a family are able to fly they all leave the northern home in early September for warmer countries. They are far more susceptible to cold than their hardier brothers the Greenwings, and seldom winter north of the Carolinas; in fact, most of them spend that season on the Gulf Coast or in South America.
They fly as swiftly as Greenwings and their habits are similar, both preferring fresh water ponds and still rivers to salt water. Their food is nine-tenths vegetable.
Similar to Greenwing Teal but nest more compact.
EGGS — 6 to 15. Buff or olive buff.
North America. More common in western part of its range.
