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

RINGTAIL DAYLIGHT VISIT
In the last couple of days we have seen a Ringtail (Bassariscus astutus) or Ringtail Cat moving quickly around the front yard during the daylight hours. Not sure why this very nocturnal mammal is being seen during daylight. The Ringtail Cat is not a member of the feline family, but is in the Procyonidae family that includes the Racoon, Central American Kinkajou, South American Coati.
