SPECIES INFO:
The Endangered Golden-cheeked Warbler is a Central-Texas gem. If you ever have the opportunity to see or hear one of these birds, you know you are in the presence of a uniquely native Texan. It ONLY breeds exclusively in Texas, specifically using nesting materials harvested from Ashe juniper bark - Juniperus ashei (cedar trees).
