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.
There was a time when dead bodies of these dainty birds were wired on women's hats! Changing that barbarous notion was a long hard pull but it was done before the last bird followed other species into the limbo of extinction. From Maine to Florida I have seen these little shy butterflies, hovering over their sandy homes, playing above blue waters or driving south against the gray sky of a September gale.
I have not been 'longshore for some years but reports show they are increasing in numbers and returning to many haunts that knew them not for years.
LEAST TERNS are plucky and courageous, attacking anything that threatens injury to their family.
They readily learn whether an intruder is dangerous or not. After a few minutes of wild dashes and cries around me, I have rested on a dune within ten feet of a pair feeding their young as unconcernedly as tho I were not there.
