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

Hail Storm
Yesterday we had a late day 10 minute hail storm. The hail was around marble size and made a terrible sound bouncing off the metal roof and gutters. Rain and hail combined for a totaled 0.13 inches, however suspect none of the hail went in the gauge which used a funnel to collect and I'm fairly sure of the hail pellets bounced off the entry area and back onto the yard.
