Golden-cheeked Warbler --Chalk Mountain, Texas
An image from last year that I took the day before my Dad's funeral in Dallas. So, these images hold a very special meaning to me. Certainly one of the most beautiful of warblers--sadly, however, a Federally Endangered Species that only breeds in Texas.
The ranch I took the photos on has been placed in a Trust that will forever keep this land in it's natural state in perpetuity.
So, the Golden-cheeked Warblers and Black-capped Vireos will be able to continue breeding there long after all of us are gone!!!
This bird is perched in an Ashe Juniper....the one tree needed for this bird to survive----GCWA use the peeling bark of the Ashe Juniper to build their nests.
And, yes, this tree is a CONIFER-----all Junipers are Conifers!
