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.
So light and buoyant on water or in air are these dainty birds that they are sometimes mistaken for Terns. I have watched them often following tide rips, curving down at intervals for a tidbit.
I labeled my first specimen Sterna hirundo altho with grave doubts for I could not convince myself that a Tern would brave a New England coast Winter.
MacFarlane and others agree that they nest in low evergreens, placing the nests on horizontal branches, usually close to the trunk.
From northwestern Alaska, south in Winter on Pacific to Lower California and on Atlantic to Florida.
