Bill Oliver [00:00:08] Welcome back, black-capped vireo, coming back from Mexico,

Bill Oliver [00:00:16] Coming in to land and rest, make their central Texas nest.

Bill Oliver [00:00:22] Welcome back, warbler with the golden cheek to the brush of Barton Creek,

Bill Oliver [00:00:30] To the wild of Wild Basin and to the Edward Plateau, home again,

Bill Oliver [00:00:36] The warblers and the vireo, since the Last Ice Age ago,

Bill Oliver [00:00:42] Have made this land their summer home.

Bill Oliver [00:00:47] And everyone knows there's no place like home.

Bill Oliver [00:00:52] They come in on the winds of spring,

Bill Oliver [00:00:57] Like they have since the Pleistocene.

Bill Oliver [00:01:00] Their wings are short, and their journey's long.

Bill Oliver [00:01:03] They bring us beauty and they bring us song.

Bill Oliver [00:01:54] No place like home, it's the only place.

Bill Oliver [00:01:55] No place like home.

Bill Oliver [00:01:59] They come in on the wings of spring, like they have since the Pleistocene.

Bill Oliver [00:02:06] Their wings are short, and their journey's long.
