It's that time of year when the flycatchers start showing up around the ranch - I usually first hear their whit and chip calls - we had one new ranch species and a repeat species show up at the Oasis - Yellow-bellied Flycatcher was new and a Least was seen for the 4th year in a row.
Rancho Cardinalis is located in the Texas Hill Country outside the village of Center Point that rests on the Guadalupe River. We acquired the ranch in 2005, built temporary living quarters in 2006 and our home in 2009. Our ranch is managed under a State wildlife plan. The focus is on Near-Artic and Neo-Tropical migratory & breeding Hill County birds. We also manage for small mammals and butterflies. The ranch is named after our most abundant bird – Northern Cardinal - cardinalis
