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

WINTER HUMMERS
We've had 2-3 hummers all winter - keeping them alive with 1:1 solution of water and sugar or 50%. Right now we have at least 2 Rufous Hummingbirds. Earlier we also had a Broad-tailed Hummer. I am assuming they are Rufous and not Allen's Hummingbirds, but will have to wait until early spring if they even stay here that long. Expecting 17deg tonight - lowest so far this season.
