Where we are   

Located 90 mi. west of San Antonio, Texas in the heart of the Texas Hill Country. This area is best described by former president Lyndon Baines Johnson...

LBJ said, "There's something different about this country... the climate is generally Pleasant. The sun is generally Bright. The air seems to be always Clean. And the water is Pure... and I don't know how to describe the feeling... other than I guess we all search at times for Serenity... and it's serene here."

Notwithstanding LBJ's comments about the beautiful serene Texas Hill Country, it is also a wonderful birding destination. The Frio Canyon is a somewhat narrow canyon very lush with oaks and cypress, and "a river runs through it" -- a crystal clear spring fed river! We are a nesting area for the Black Chinned hummingbird, and situated at the convergence of the Pacific and Central migratory flyways just above Mexico. 

We see some ruby throated hummers migrating during spring and fall, and Monarch butterflies coming through, but we mostly feed the Black Chinned hummer. In past years during summertime  we have hung five 32 oz. Tejas feeders at our home on the Frio and filled each of them  daily!...   lots of hummers!
