Endemic Bird Areas
Most bird species which are endemic to this region have ranges which are too large to qualify for Birdlife International's restricted-range endemic status; consequently, this region has no Endemic Bird Areas defined. However there are two secondary areas, namely:
- Michigan Jack pine savanna (code s003), the breeding grounds of Kirtland's Warbler.
- The Edwards Plateau (code s004), the breeding grounds of Golden-cheeked Warbler (and also an important area for Black-capped Vireo).

Famous quotes containing the words bird and/or areas:
“What bird so sings, yet so does wail?
O, ‘tis the ravished nightingale!
“Jug, jug, jug, jug, tereu,” she cries,
And still her woes at midnight rise.
Brave prick-song! who is’t now we hear?
None but the lark so shrill and clear;”
—John Lyly (1553–1606)
“In my writing I am acting as a map maker, an explorer of psychic areas ... a cosmonaut of inner space, and I see no point in exploring areas that have already been thoroughly surveyed.”
—William Burroughs (b. 1914)
