Beautiful Sight!

Golden-cheeked Warblers and More

 Four Golden-cheeked Warblers visited our campsite Thursday morning in Pedernales State Park.  We were enjoying our morning coffee in the outdoors. The time was around 7:30 a.m. and the Black-crested Titmouse and Carolina Chickadee were visiting our water drip. I saw the warblers appear in the Cedar close to us. My first thought was Black-throated Green Warblers. Within seconds my husband and I realized they were Golden-cheeked pairs.  Our visitors stayed around for a while and we were indeed thrilled.  No pictures were taken as we were not prepared for this event which certainly highlighted our visit to the park. We had enjoyed the Painted Bunting, Rufous-crowned Sparrow and Lark Sparrow in the bird blind the day before. As always, we love to visit our Texas State Parks. Pedernales is one of our favorites!
