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.
From the Virginia beaches south to Florida and Texas, WILSON PLOVER is more or less common locally. Parents will go thru such a violent series of "broken wing" tactics as to actually leave them exhausted on the sand.
I have seen them rarely on the Long Island beaches where their large black bills easily identified them. They were always alone, never mixing with the other species. A small flock of six noticed in September, 1891, on Rockaway Beach were probably one family. They were extremely unsuspicious, allowing me to approach within twenty feet and took wing with a peculiar quit-quit.
Southern United States. Rare in western part of its range.
