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.
The low horizon caught the opalescent desert tints merging into deep turquoise overhead. Nearby, greens, yellows and browns intermingled. The dawn was aplay with color yet the eye focused instantly on a fleck of crimson floating slowly downward and alighting on a willowtip. A ruby star strayed from his tropic home. The miniature of our Scarlet Tanager repeated the aerial with happy twitterings until his love, in the thickets below, called him to earth with impatient commands to help her in the home-building. But love could not hold him or duty stay — a twig or two and then aloft once more. There are some pictures which memory never curtains — that play of color along the desert stream — that puff of crimson floating joyously — beauty and happiness with tragedy utterly routed!
