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

Rain, Hail and Lighting
Had a good thunder storm last night, Lost power for an hour. Rain gauge showed 0.56 inches. The wind was blowing so hard you might have thought we got several inches, but we will take whatever the good lord is willing to send us. Should pep up the wildflowers that haven't already gone to seed and maybe a few new ones will appear. We are supposed to get rain off and on this week. Climatologist tell us La Nina is gone and we are now neutral, perhaps heading into an El Nino (ENSO - El Nino Southern Oscillation) which will mean more rain for us and hurricanes along the gulf plus much cooler as well.
