Creek on this historic ranch to see pastures dotted with grazing
cattle and horses. Watch for the occasional fox, raccoon, javelina,
beaver, and river otter while on outdoor adventures. The wildlife are

banks on the property.

and flycatchers. Ducks and Canadian geese winter here November through February.
Springtime brings tanagers and orioles, bluebirds & robins to feast on ripe mulberries.

Creek water that feeds both ponds.
