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.
"Billy-the-Kid" shot Mexicans just to see them kick. The same type of criminal shoots animals or birds to see them flop! Death has slowly forced these fine birds further away from the East and only the Audubon Society has saved them from extinction. Under protection they are increasing and future Americans will watch their wild evolutions, when the spirit of play seizes them. When a thunder storm approaches, the heavy birds become transformed, flying to meet the wind like nightgowned children. Diving and darting on split pinions, they come down with roars, recover and zoom up, ending the show with zigzag swoops — as easily as swallows!
Their disposition is mild and good natured and the colonies live in amity.
