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.
Dixon says the migration flight in Spring is a most impressive sight. A dim speck low over the frozen tundra suddenly develops wings which beat with the rhythm and energy of a steam engine. With huge bill and neck extended slightly upward, the bird glides swiftly forward in a straight line. The rapid "swish, swish" of the powerful wings dies in the Arctic stillness as the diminishing dark object bores into low eastern clouds. The migration route in Spring is from eastern Asia to Bering Strait, to Point Barrow to the Mackenzie River delta. Autumn route unknown.
