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

Green Skipper
Saw this butterfly late today on Verbena - our only blooming wildflower this year. After close study of the pictures I took, decided it was a Green Skipper, 2nd record for the ranch.

New bird for Oasis
Today I had a new species for the Ranch Oasis - Northern Parula. This bird made a very brief showing while I was rushing to get the camera out.
Some other visitors.
