VSP: Kickerillo Mischer Bird Survey with Houston Audubon

A Monthly Bird Survey at the Kickerillo Mischer Preserve in Houston

Leaders: Mary Anne Weber, Skip Almoney, Geoff Newton

Houston Precinct 4’s Kickerillo-Mischer Preserve is an 80-acre property featuring Marshall Lake, which spans approximately 40 acres, plus a staff building, paved roads and parking lots, restroom facilities, and 1.7 miles of trails. This bird survey takes place on the third Tuesday of each month. You do not have to be a member of Houston Audubon Society to participate.

The preserve was donated to Houston’s Precinct 4 in January 2009, after Kickerillo Companies and Mischer Investments acquired it from Hewlett-Packard to create The Vintage, a community in northwest Harris County. Ultimately, the property will connect with the 100-acre Wood Preserve on the opposite side of Highway 249 and become part of the Cypress Creek Greenway trail system, which connects hundreds of acres of parks along Cypress Creek.

The survey is held on the third Tuesday of the month.  Meet in front of the restrooms.
