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.
If you love Nature age does not quell thrills. I was 55 years old before I found this little semi-flycatcher's nest, tho I knew they had bred in the Taconic Hills for years.
Regularly, every June morning at four o'clock a male spent almost exactly half an hour singing his liquid notes under my window. Persistent trailing took me to the nest, almost half a mile back near the old wood road. Each time I visited the home to see all was well, the male accompanied me all the way back, singing, hunting and chipping socially. Maybe he was performing the proud father act! He was happy enuf and seemed to know I was not one of the "dangers of field and forest." They raised the youngsters, but alas, neither parents nor children have ever returned.
NEST: Built of old leaves, grass and roots, lined with pine needles, fine roots and hair, well hidden under old log or tussock, usually near streams.
EGGS: 4–5, white or pale buff, spotted with chestnut and lavender sometimes black specks and pencilings.
Eastern North America, from central Alberta, Keewatin, northern Ontario, Quebec and Newfoundland, southward along Alleghenies.
Rarely a tree 20 feet high, usually a many-branched shrub, distributed from Greenland to Alaska, south to northern California, New Mexico, Arizona and Texas.
