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. Some habitat was cleared to grow crops or grass for livestock. Other habitat areas were flooded when large lakes were built. For more on the Biology and Natural History of the Golden-cheeked Warbler, Follow this link.
