Birding in the Davis Mountains and Big Bend

The Davis Mountains and Big Bend encompass mountain, desert, and river environments. More than 450 species have been recorded here.
The region is vast, and the birding opportunities endless! These are just some of the hotspots we bird: Texas Nature Conservancy's Davis Mountains Preserve, Davis Mountains State Park, Balmorhea Lake and Balmorhea State Park, Post Pavilion, and in Big Bend National Park: Rio Grande corridor, Chisos Basin and Chisos Mountains. In the low desert and grasslands, we have access to private ranches and take you to little known locations to view burrowing owls and an amazing variety of falcons, owls, hawks and an occasional eagle.

Birding tours begin at our Lodge in Fort Davis, Texas, where we spend a few days birding the Davis Mountains. From here, we travel to Chihuahua City and board the first-class train, El Chepe, to transport us deep into the Sierra Madres and Copper Canyon.
Along the way, we bird pine and oak forests, low desert and grasslands, and tropical forests on this incredible journey through diverse ecosystems. The canyons are home to over 300
species of birds, and many more migratory birds can be seen in the area in winter.
