Well we had a wonderful time until Sherry feel on the escalator and brushed herself from face to knees. But she is okay now with just a few minor aches.
Our trip list stands at 376 with 122 lifers a little short of my predicted 125. A combination of weather and route changes caused us to loose about 5-10 species so despite the weather we managed to get a good list.
The Rio Negro was a surprise to be so clear and pure.
I've posted my better pictures on Google Photos

I plan to add my favorites later after we have entered all our sightings into eBird.
More to come...
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
