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.
Where the Miami River meets the Everglades I saw hundreds of these Birds feeding. They were not shy, allowing us to push the skiff within one hundred feet before they swirled off a short distance and alighted. They were catching a small crustacean resembling hellgamites and their tameness may have been due to reluctance in leaving such a feast.
The young are fed by regurgitation, the parent standing indifferently by the nest until a squalling youngster seizes its bill and by a series of jerks forces the food into its own throat.
NEST — a slight platform of twigs, usually in small trees or bushes close to water. Sometimes in tall trees forty feet up.
EGGS — 4 to 5; pale bluish green.
Southern and eastern North America. Casual, north to Vermont, Maine, Quebec and Nova Scotia.
