Several months ago (as I recall) I remember seeing mention of a wildlife "ranch" where people view/photograph desert wildlife from a blind overlooking a pond setting.

Images were posted of a bobcat and (as I remember) a snake drinking from the waterhole. That is all I recall about it.

What is the ranch's name please?

Santa Clara ranch. I believe Hector astorga had images on his Facebook page.

Yes, that's it, and thank you much.

Also, I found this long list of additional Texas ranches, including Santa Clara.

If you go to the Santa Clara, there is a house on the ranch where you can stay. This is a great feature of this ranch. Also, hiring Hector or another guide is worth the money. I have been to this ranch at least three times and recommend it. Another ranch I can recommend is the Laguna Seca, about 30 minutes to the east, and closer to motels in Edinburg, TX.

In another post above, (National Audubon photos) Image number 1 is by Hector.
