We want to see all of Rex's birds here, too.

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.

Pine Grosbeak

Pinicola enucleator leucura

DESCRIPTION

Before turning in I always opened the window as wide as the temperature warranted. Zero called for a mere crack of half an inch and some mornings there came thru this slit a mellow oo-kay, telling rare visitors were getting breakfast. Nearly all the birds that wander south seem dark-colored but some small flocks have crimson tinted males.

There are no waiters to bring them food and the energy required to tear a frozen apple apart seems scarcely compensated by the few seeds within. They are gentle, unsuspicious gray-coated nuns and I have sat while they followed the tendril of a bittersweet across my foot, eating the berries leisurely. They are as fond of maple seeds as Evening Grosbeaks and will return day after day until every one of these delicacies is gleaned from the ground beneath the trees.
