Hi Robert,
You just missed an open weekend on The Nature Conservancy's Davis Mountains
Preserve. Next open days are 19 October and 7 & 14 December (primarily
Christmas tree hunt day, but I think other access is allowed). However, the
Madera Canyon Trail (just over 2 miles in length) accessed at the Lawrence E.
Wood picnic area is open to the public year-round during daylight hours. The
picnic area itself can have good birding as well. In terms of other birding
areas, the Chihuahuan Desert Research Institute outside of Fort Davis might be
a site to try.

Subject: [texbirds] RFI Davis Mountains - Jeff Davis County
I was considering taking a trip out west during the holiday break in
December this year. In looking at some advance planning, the Tx Parks
service has a notice on the Davis Mountains State Park webpage that the
park will be closed from Sept 2013 through Feb 2014. Does anyone happen to
have any information on this? Additionally, the Nature Conservancy site
appears to have limited access. I remember reading a message string on
TexBirds regarding this location some time back but cannot find it.
This would be my first trip to West Texas. I would be grateful for any
insight the community can give me in regard to these two locations
specifically, and any alternatives in the Davis Mountain area that may be
productive. I already have Lake Balmorhea and Balmorhea State Park on the
itinerary.
Thanks in advance!
