It's been months since I last posted. I've turned 74, Sherry will be 70 this week. We survived a real scare when Sherry was diagnosed with a brain tumor just before we left on a 31 day birding tour of South Africa. Well when we got back we got some good news, it appears she doesn't have a tumor, but it appears her Venous Anomaly bleed out and has left a smear on her MRI. Only time will tell what is really going on, but right now we are living and happy
In South Africa we got 500+ species and 240+ lifers brining our life total to over 4000.
Later this year we will celebrate our 50th Anniversary. God willing we will see many more too...
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
