Birds & Trees of N. America
Field Notes 64th Quarterly Edition is “The Birds and Trees of North America” featuring the artwork of Rex Brasher (1869–1960).
Rex Brasher’s artistic talent, love of nature, technical expertise, and persistence offer an inspiring story that should be better known by anyone with an interest in birds, nature, or art. From a young age, Brasher committed to visiting all of America’s bird species in their natural habitats. He spent a lifetime traveling, collecting notes and drawings, writing personal, insightful descriptions, and painting and re-painting birds.
