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.
Nelson writes that these birds have been noted on Pacific coasts north of the equator. They range across the broad ocean, usually alone or in pairs, to the South Sea islands, tripping daintily on beaches of atolls, their feet laved by warm tropic waters, and eyes familiar with luxuriant nature in its most lovely aspect. The next season may find them thousands of miles north, under shadows of stupendous cliffs among the grand but desolate Aleutians.
The only known nest in existence was taken by Murie on a gravel bar of Savage River, Alaska. It was a well-built compact structure of grass, roots and twigs.
