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 3 contains 82 hand-colored plates, depicting ducks, geese, swans, flamingos, spoonbills, ibises, and herons.
