Why Texas
There is only one place on earth to see it.
The Golden-cheeked Warbler nests nowhere else on the planet — only in the ancient juniper canyons of Central Texas. This is where the birds you’ve spent a lifetime hoping to see actually live.
The rare ones
Two birds found nowhere else, in a single morning.
The Golden-cheeked Warbler and the Black-capped Vireo breed only in the Texas Hill Country — within an hour of Austin. Almost no one finds them alone. With a guide who knows the song before he sees the bird, you will.
Your guide
Bryan Cotter
He can pick one Golden-cheeked Warbler out of a whole dawn chorus before you’ve raised your binoculars — then put you exactly where the light is right for the photograph.
A lifetime spent in these canyons, and one of only ten people in history to record a 500-species Texas Big Year — so your morning afield is nothing but the good part.
It isn’t a checklist. It’s the morning you’ll be telling stories about for years.
The Texas year, one unforgettable tour at a time.
