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.
Size and color are fatal twins. Lethal lust and weapons have done their ignoble work among the TRUMPETERS. There may be one dozen left of our largest waterfowl or there may be none! Where once they ranged mating and following the silver cord of life in peace their resonant voice is heard no longer. With the Whooping Crane and Curlew they have reached the narrow end of the Long Trail where it fines into oblivion. May the souls of those who wantonly destroyed these magnificent birds be buried in Hereafter's deepest pit! A futile curse — they had no souls.
NEST: often atop old muskrat holes or on slight elevation near water.
EGGS — 2 to 8: ruf-shelled, creamy white.
Formerly widely distributed over North America. — Now relegated to country on far side of the Styx. . . .
