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.
Writing of this bird, Gilman says a male will approach a female, fluff his feathers, stand and flutter his wings. This increases in speed and violence until he appears in a perfect frenzy, then springs five or six feet into the air; slowly descends, body perpendicular, beak on breast and thrust forward under body. Meanwhile he furiously beats his wings, the noise audible sixty yards away. His final approach is made in short grotesque hops, sometimes interrupted by a whirring circular flight three feet above her.
