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.
Troubadours who "bill' recitals from Peru to the Arctic Circle are the ALICIAE. In Alaskan lands of the midnight sun their song is heard for twenty hours of daylight out of twenty-four. John Burroughs heard them singing continuously from 2 A. M. to 10 P. M. near Port Clarence north of Behring Strait. One performer hovered above the tundra and repeated its song three times in rapid succession. Lacking tree perches in that unarborescent land the bird used the air instead.
The song is said to resemble the Veery's but is thinner in quality and the call note given impatiently with ascending pitch.
