Where I live

Where I live

Fort Davis, Texas

I live at 6,143′ in the Davis Mountains just outside Fort Davis, Texas. Formerly I lived in Sanderson but have relocated to a more central location for guiding in the Big Bend region of west Texas. I moved into a 700′ house with big porches and spectacular views of the McDonald Observatory and Mount Livermore, the highest peak in the Davis Mountains at 8,379′. When around the house, I am often enjoying the Javelinas and incredible variety of birds we get such as Scott’s Orioles, Western and Hepatic Tanagers, Black-chinned Sparrows, Acorn Woodpeckers, Montezuma Quail, and a large number of hummingbird species. I also get a wide variety of great insects, flowers, and grasses, particularly after the summer monsoons, and this makes for some great macro photography experiences.

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat" ~ Theodore Roosevelt
