Worker saw a male Golden-cheeked Warbler feeding a young fledge and and caught this image of the young bird.
Caretaker's note: It is an excellent sign to see an endangered Golden-cheeked Warbler but even better to know that they are breeding successfully! This photo clearly shows the "golden cheeks" on the young fledgling's head. While this is not the best photo of the Golden-cheeked Warbler, it is included here as a document of the sighting. This photo was taken by Mike Jones.
