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.
Except in Winter these Gulls are seldom seen on the seashore. They spend three-quarters of the year on inland western lakes and follow a plow with keen eyes, allowing few grubs, insects or mice to escape. From Utah and the Dakotas they range thru the barren ground to the Arctic coast, congregating in thousands on some lake favorable for family cares. One observer states that a bird remained within a few feet of his outstretched hand while the steamer drove at fifteen knots into a fifteen-mile wind. There the airmaster hung without a wing-beat, merely adjusting pinions and tail to the varying currents.
Parents are strict disciplinarians, keeping their youngsters within home limits altho the children can run and swim a few days after leaving the eggs.
