Davis was always such a kind, humble, and welcoming spirit to us New Hampshire birders. His legendary "meat pile" was one of my early exposures to birding. Imagine driving down your average New England country road, looking up and seeing a cloud of gulls overhead. Add Bald Eagles in the double digits as well as the occasional rarity, and that was Davis' yard.
I snapped this shot back in 2015 and I was honored that NH Audubon chose it as part of Davis' 2016 Goodhue-Elkins Award. It perfectly captured his patience and undying fascination with the natural world.
