Dan Brown's place is a hummer hotspot that's second to none in the Lone Star state From all across the country, birders and naturalists come to witness the amazing sight. The Brown Ranch outside the quaint town of Christoval, Texas, is perfect habitat for nesting hummingbirds. Each spring thousands migrate to this beautiful valley where the Concho River is lined with live oak and pecan trees.
Deer are abundant in the fall, winter and spring.
Wild turkey migrate into the thickets with their young in September and can number over 200. Periodic bird netting and banding sessions are conducted at Brown Ranch by Dr. Ross Dawkins from Angelo State University in nearby San Angelo. A rare albino hummingbird has been photographed at the Brown Ranch. The first hummingbird arrival is expected each spring about March 15th. The highest concentrations generally occur between April 15th and August 15th.
