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.
The HUDSONIAN is the silent member of the genus, voicing a soft chirp of "Sandpiper chatter" when alarmed. Sanford found them common on Magdalene Islands where their undulating flight easily differentiated them from all other waders. They quickly learned the danger behind a blind and foiled all attempts at their destruction. The line of southern migration carries them outside Atlantic shores and only after a hard "easterly blow" are they seen on the coast. They probably take the same route as the Golden Plover, direct to the West Indies and South America.
Females less intensely colored than figure in plate.
North America, chiefly eastern part. Breeding range unknown, only one set of eggs (from Mackenzie Bay) having been found.
