The Golden-cheeked Warbler is the only bird species whose population nests entirely in the state of Texas.
Although the Golden-cheeked Warbler nests in Texas and winters in Mexico and northern Central America, wayward individuals have turned up in Florida, the Virgin Islands, and off the coast of California.
The oldest recorded Golden-cheeked Warbler was at least 8 years, 11 months old when it was recaptured and rereleased during banding operations in Texas.
