Welcome to La Lomita Photography Ranch, a 240-acre property with a large stand of Mesquite trees, shrubs, cactus, wildflowers and grass, making it one of the last natural habitats in the City of Uvalde. The ranch is also surrounded by farm land, making it an ideal refuge for regional and migrating birds and wildlife.  Here, you'll find over 125 species of birds, including our resident Green Jays, Thrashers, Roadrunners, Cardinals, Bobwhite & Scaled Quail and dozens more. In addition to our birds, wildlife includes Deer, Bobcats, Armadillo, Rabbits, Squirrels and Coyotes occasionally seen on the ranch.

 

La Lomita is a vision of the ranch owner who is also a photographer, who wanted to see the property developed into a premier birding and wildlife destination for photographers—from beginners to professionals—to enjoy the beauty of Texas in its natural state. In 2016 he asked Pliny Mier, also an avid birding and wildlife photographer, to take his dream to the development the ranch.

 

The ranch is convenient for avid birders and photographers to enjoy whether coming from San Antonio, or any of Texas’ major cities, with minimal driving time to get to some of the best birding and wildlife photography in South Texas.

 

Uvalde is located at the crossroads of the nation’s two longest highways, U.S. 90 and U.S. 83. Uvalde is known as the Honey Capital of the World and is famous for its beautiful trees. Uvalde is located just 90 miles west of the Number One destination city in Texas, San Antonio.  So, whether you’re coming from within Texas, from out of state or country, commuting is not a challenge.
