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

SLOW MIGRATION
This year has really been slow. A few migrants and only 1-2 Painted Bunting that didn't show up until April 17th. 2 days later than usual; and only one today was singing. Also we still have lots of White-crowned and Chipping Sparrows plus a couple of Spotted Towhees. A Lazuli Bunting (1st year male) has been around for several days. Hummingbirds are eating me out of sugar water daily.
