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.
Taverner writes that the GODWIT'S loud notes "You're crazy — crazy — crazy," confirmed by Korect — Korect, sets the prairie alert. The usual interpretation of their call is godwit — godwit — godwit and is the source of their name.
From their breeding grounds in central southern Canada and adjacent parts of the United States, the birds migrate due east or west, some leaving in the latter part of July. The majority seem to prefer the western route of late years and Godwits are extremely rare on the Atlantic coast today.
Bent states that their vocabulary ranges from a gentle whistling note to the quack of an excited Duck or the scream of a Redshoulder Hawk. They are extremely noisy, occupying the center of the stage whenever they meet. A flock of six passed within thirty feet of me while poling the sloop thru the canal south of Georgetown, South Carolina. They were going with whistling wings at great speed.
