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.
Mourning refers to this bird's call — a cooing series of notes. They are casual in nesting, building a frail home of a few sticks whenever the parental instinct urges, during every month in the year except December and January. In their wanderings they are casual, being found over the entire United States but are most numerous where food is plentiful. They gather casually in small flocks or are found in pairs and in some parts of the country wing their whistling flight every evening in little groups to a favored roosting spot. We met numbers darting across Roanoke Sound from the mainland, headed for Roanoke Island at sunset.
Casual Dove would be a more appropriate name!
