WOW - I saw this large sulphur feeding at our Mexican Purple Sage and told Sherry it looked like a Southern Dogface and she should get some pictures. Well when I saw her pcitures I got all excited and ran outside with my camera to get some shots.
WhiteAngled-Sulphur - New ranch species and lifer for me. BAMONA shows it as recorded in Kerr County, but there is no documented record in the list?
Sherry and I will each submit the records as sher got better pictures than me.
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

In 2007 we received a Texas Forest Stewardship award. L-R; Susan Sander, Sherry Collins, Clay Bales, Tom Collins
