Endangered species that breeds in Central Texas, from Palo Pinto County southwestward along the eastern and southern edge of the Edwards Plateau to Kinney County.

Golden-cheeked Warblers nest in ash juniper and live oak trees in ravines and canyons.

They winter in southern Mexico (Chiapas), Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua.
