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.
Shrimp and small fish always are obtainable, from ocean's table, by these birds and one of their common names — "Sea Quail" — suggests plumpness and size. They nest in burrows with other AUKLETS, digging a three or four foot tunnel with few offshoots.
They are common on the Farallones and elsewhere usually are found interspersed among other species.
Dawson says they nest in most unexpected places; a pile of coal was full of them! — flight control was poor and his workroom door was a constant target. A crash announced the arrival of the family provider. The impact stunned the bird and it fell but immediately began a frantic search, then disappeared under the doorstep.
"Right here! Right here!" proclaimed the home coming of the dinner laden parent.
