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.
Since recorded history, and probably long before, legends and superstitions have clustered around RAVENS' sombre forms. They were feathered children of the Devil and even today their presence and harsh croakings are believed indicative of misfortune. Sagacity, hardiness and omnivorous habits have enabled them to survive over parts of the country where formerly they were common. The only one I ever saw came across our bows while we were gliding slowly thru fog on Frenchman's Bay, Maine. Parental affection is so strong that old birds defend their young against any danger, remain with and feed them long after the youngsters are capable of flight.
