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).

No burning leaf; prithee, let no bird call.”
