Soon after the Raccoon was nothing more than a few strands of fur, several Vultures decided to pay the Oasis a visit. What a sight as you can see them first parading over, then drinking from the little pool.
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

Day of the Vulture
A Raccoon died of unknown causes about 100 feet from the ranch front steps but out of sight until the vultures started showing up. At full count there were 15 Black and 8 Turkey Vultures plus two very aggressive Crested Caracara's that dominated the feeding site until they left.
