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

ANOTHER NEW RANCH BUTTERFLY - FALCATE ORANGETIP
While working in the vegetable garden, I noted a smaller white butterfly on a Windflower. I noted the wing shape and ran to the ranch house to get my camera. When I returned the butterfly was still hanging around and I managed to get a few descent shots. This butterfly is an early year single hatch species and my bug is a female which lacks the orange tip.
