The Texas Blue Jay Project by Sebastian Casarez

As Texans, we are very fortunate to live in our state that has more than 600 birds that either live all year in Texas or migrate to Texas. The diversity of habitats in Texas welcomes many birds to call Texas home and it also attracts many migratory birds that visit Texas during migration. Especially, the Endangered Golden-cheeked warbler and the Endangered Black-capped Vireo. Both birds migrate once a year to Texas from Central and South America to breed and raise their young. The Endangered Golden-cheeked warblers nests in Central Texas, because of it's Ashe Juniper cedar trees that they use to build their nests with the bark of the Ashe Juniper cedar trees. Unfortunately, the Texas General Land Office recently filed suit to delist the Golden-cheeked warbler from the endangered species list.*sources from Audubon Texas & National Audubon Society Facebook post on June 7, 2017. 
Protect the Endangered Golden-Cheeked warbler! For more information on ways to help the Endangered Golden-cheeked warbler contact Travis Audubon Society or your local TX Audubon Society.

Lots to see in Texas! Besides, the beautiful and diverse habitats in Texas we have endangered birds that visit Texas, several types of warblers, herons, and much more! 

This is why I started The Texas Blue Jay Project Pledge! I believe it is our responsibility as Texans to protect and preserve habitats that many birds call Texas home, too! #GoTexasBirding!
