And if you head to one particular oasis you’ll see one of the rarest hummingbirds found in the United States. Lone Star Land Steward: Solana Ranch Solana Ranch near Salado, Texas has been in the Michaux family since 1950. Through the family's cattle and hunting operations, they've held this special piece of property together in the face of development pressure in one of the fastest growing areas of the state.
