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.
So shy and scarce is this Rail that few naturalists have seen it. One flew across my blind in Shinnecock Bay and disappeared into the grass. The growth was thin and ground sandy, and altho I went right after it I never caught a glimpse of the bird again. Their call is a series of throaty "clinks" given steadily for fifteen minutes at a time, sometimes all thru a moonlit night.
NEST: a neat substantial structure of reeds and grass, well hidden in grass tufts or under last year's leftover hay windrows.
EGGS: 8–10; varying shades of buff, specked with brown and lilac at large end.
Chiefly United States and Canada to latitude 60 degrees. West to North Dakota; rarely to California.
