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.
Lack of wariness is accentuated in these birds to a degree which would prove fatal to survival if their habitat were not isolated and the young less numerous. The report of a small bore rifle does not disturb their equanimity and often they will remain perched after several shots have been fired by an indifferent marksman.
Strutting of males is pompous and amusingly dignified and they have muscular control over sections of the tail feathers, as proved by their opening and shutting each half alternately.
Their habits and breeding are similar to other members of the genus.
Southern Alaska, central British Columbia and Alberta; south to Oregon, Idaho and Montana.
