We want to see all of Rex's birds here, too.

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.

Bullock Oriole

Icterus bullocki

DESCRIPTION

Replaces the Baltimore Oriole on the Pacific coast, with the same rollicking call and general all-arounddevil-may-care spirit. Plumage not quite so vivid but a very fair substitute.
Finley tells of a man who shot four males in succession just to see if the female would bring back another husband. Those poor murdered birds were not the ones who ort to have been killed.
BREEDING

NEST: similar to Baltimore Oriole's but usually of stronger material and so elastic that it returns to shape after compression.
EGGS: 3-6; pale blue with erratic hairlines.

BREEDING

RANGE

Western United States and British provinces east to eastern border of Great Plains.
