Birds & Trees of North America Field Notes

3½" × 5½" Ruled Paper

One of our favorites from Field Notes: “The Birds and Trees of North America” Edition, 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
Field Notes carefully reproduced nine of Brasher's colorful illustrations for three 3-Packs of Field Notes Ruled Memo Books. Covers are a lovely felt-textured 100#C Mohawk Via “Pure White,” bound by three stainless steel staples. The bodies are 60#T Domtar Lynx Opaque Ultra, ruled with pale gray lines.
