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.
With golden head bent, feet and tail lowered and wings quivering, white patches shining in the sun, a male YELLOWHEAD courting is an interesting sight.
Each pair selects an area of marsh and there is little interference from the rest of the company: when several males are swinging around their consorts, with the early sun glinting on yellow fronts, they form a most vivid and lively picture. The clucks, calls and klee, klee klees do not quite "key" with the display.
In Autumn they flock with their kindred, seeking food and are at home in ranch corrals or open fields, and effective in grasshopper control.
NEST: a woven basket of reeds and grass, hung in growing reeds or cattails in marshes.
EGGS: 3–5; gray or pale green, speckled all over with browns and gray.
Open country of western and central North America. North to about latitude 59 degrees.
