Golden-cheeked Warblers nest only in central Texas amid mixed Ashe-juniper and oak woodland in ravines and canyons. Warblers eat insects and spiders found on the leaves and bark of oaks and other trees. They use long strips of cedar bark and spider webs to build their nests. They come to Texas in March to nest and raise their young, and leave in July to spend the winter in Mexico and Central America. Of the nearly 360 bird species that breed in Texas, the Golden-cheeked Warbler is the only one that nests exclusively in Texas. Golden-cheeked Warblers are endangered because many tall juniper and oak woodlands have been cleared to build houses, roads, and stores. Some habitat was cleared to grow crops or grass for livestock. Other habitat areas were flooded when large lakes were built.
Directions:
Dinosaur Valley State Park is located off FM 205 northwest of Glen Rose, Somervell County, Texas. Stop at the park headquarters, pick up a map and pay the fee. Find Track Site #2 and park in the parking area.
To the Box:
Look north to a trail sign for the Paluxy River Nature Trail. Walk along the paved path for 55 steps and read the Oceans of Grass sign. Continue along the path for another 80 steps. You’ll see a dirt path on your left. Go off the asphalt path down the dirt path toward the river, passing a huge spreading oak to a trail marker. Facing the marker and the river, look uphill at 200 degrees (over the left shoulder) for the biggest cedar tree you can find. The box is at the base of that tree, on the far side, under rocks and debris.
