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.
When a December nor'wester flattened beach grass and surf, one of my favorite sports was lying under a dune-shelter with field glasses and attempting to separate different Gull species as they winged in hundreds over the outer seabreak. On one occasion I saw twenty-seven "white gulls." Whether they were all ICELANDs never will be known. To me, this species is indistinguishable, in the field, from the Glaucous. The only difference is size (and that is a poor factor unless birds are in the hand). While hardier than their larger relative, they seem less rapacious on the breeding grounds, altho an unguarded fat little Murre probably would disappear down the Iceland death chasm as quickly as into a Glaucous gullet.
Arctic regions. South in Winter to New England and some seasons comparatively numerous off Long Island.
