The Golden-cheeked Warbler is an endangered species with one of the most restricted breeding ranges in all of North America. A very handsome songbird, it measures from 4.5 to 5 inches long with a wingspan of 8 inches. The male has a black back, throat and cap with snappy yellow cheeks with a black stripe through the eye. Texas is the only state in the union where this bird nests and it prefers the Ashe juniper and hardwoods found in the Texas Hill Country. From early March through early July, Friedrich Wilderness Park is home to the Golden-cheeked Warbler and it can be seen by hiking some of the many trails in this nature preserve located on the outskirts of San Antonio.
Directions:
Friedrich Wilderness Park is located in northwest San Antonio off I10 West. From I10, take the Camp Bullis Road exit, turn left and proceed through the underpass, then turn right on the access road. Proceed for 1 mile and turn left on Oak Dr. which will take you to a T-intersection with Milsa. Turn right and the park entrance will be on your left at 21480 Milsa. Park near the main trail head at the southwest end of the parking area.
Clues:
Walk west at 285 past the post off-trail for 23 steps to a cedar bush with many branches. You will have to go around some cactus first, then between 2 cedar bushes a little to the right. The box is nestled among the branches at its trunk under some rocks. Please re-cover well and continue on around the loop.
