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.
Olive Thorne Miller says that one of these birds frequently rested for long periods with body held at Robin or Sparrow angle, with head swinging as mechanically as an elephant moves its trunk. Its toilet was prolonged and meticulous, every feather being carefully put in order. The bill was scraped and polished to the tip by her claws, the leg thrown over the wing. It was astonishing what she could do with her legs — pausing in midair and thrusting one over a vibrating wing and scratching her head or standing sturdily on them while probing a blossom. She hovered along the fence stakes — laths an inch apart — collecting tiny spiders from the tips.
