Birds and Trees of North America is Rex Brasher's seminal work, comprised of 862 watercolor paintings bound in an encyclopedic set. Between 1929 and 1932, he created 100 twelve-volume sets—1,200 individual books—and sent them to patrons across North America. Volume 12 contains 119 hand-colored plates, depicting wrens, creepers, nuthatches, titmice, wren-tits, kinglets, gnatcatchers, thrushes, and bluebirds.
