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.

Pearson, having found their nests from February until September, says the breeding season extends an unusually long period. An entirely different character of nesting site is chosen at different times of year: in early Spring, tops of rotting stumps were selected; later, open fields; in July, August and September, orange trees or grapevine branches.
Some individuals are pugnacious and often attack larger birds when food is threatened.
