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 NODDY indicates his preference by bowing vigorously to his choice and she responds by thrusting her bill down his throat and eating what food she finds there! A marriage feast without parallel and homebuilding is started at once after this delicate ceremony.
Watson says the Noddies left Bird Key, Florida, about daybreak and returned in about two hours when the relieved mates took their turn at fishing. Males feed females until the egg is laid, after that they spell one another about every two hours.
Fierce battles occur over tiny sticks, for nesting material is scarce on Bird Key.
Noddies build in low bushes or on grass tussock; never on the ground unless forced to. Incubation period of over five weeks is the longest among Terns.
