Enjoy this rare view of an endangered Golden-cheeked Warbler nest, found only in Texas! Golden-cheeked warblers build nests, lay eggs and raise young in the spring. They nest exclusively in the closed-canopy oak juniper forest of Central Texas. One of the rare places left in the hill country for the birds to nest is the Balcones Canyonlands Preserve. Efforts to keep an eye on this population at the preserve are underway. For more info, visit: http://www.balconescanyonlands.org |
