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.
A male MEARNS QUAIL, looking directly at an observer suggests the head of a little feathered bulldog. The fierce expression is in no way indicative of the bird's true character for they are gentle, confiding and tame. In some localities they exhibit so little fear of man that they sometimes are destroyed by a stick or stone. They seem to deserve the name of "Fool Hen" and their lack of wariness accounts for their scarcity. The birds found within our borders are wanderers from their proper Mexican habitat and little is known of their mannerisms.
NEST: on ground; rather well built for a Quail, with entrance partially arched and concealed.
EGGS: 8 to 12. White.
Arid regions of central Arizona and New Mexico. East to Central Texas.
