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

HUMMINGBIRD FEEDING FRENZY
This has been the most active hummingbird I can recall. Perhaps the recent rains that kick-started our native flower beds to explode with salvias, lantana and Turk's Cap and the lack of any other flowers must be the primary draw. I have been filling feeder daily. The major species are Ruby-throats with a few Black-chinned and a couple of Selasphrous.
