The 34th annual Cypress Creek Christmas Bird Count will be held on Friday, January 1st. Each year dozens of bird-watchers, both inexperienced and seasoned, venture out onto the area’s prairie remnants, farms, creeks, and wetlands to catalog the remarkable and dazzling bird life of the Katy Prairie.
Katy Prairie Conservancy will lead a group of Christmas Bird Count participants on an expedition to record birds on the area’s diverse preserves. Katy Prairie Conservancy anticipates that this year’s count will be as exciting as ever with opportunities to potentially see or hear Bald Eagles, Peregrine Falcons, Bobwhite Quail, waterfowl, and over one hundred other species.
If you’d like to assist with the count this year please contact Jaime Gonzalez at 281.660.6683 or by email at jaimegonzalez72@gmail.com.

Hippity-hoppity, Easters on its way! If you’ve got plans for a backyard Easter egg hunt or a gathering with family, consider these tips from the Farmers’ Market at LaCenterra in Cinco Ranch to make your Easter eco-friendly and egg-cellent.
- Avoid the plastics! Instead of artificial and imported baskets, use containers you already own for Easter goodies. Dress them up with ribbons or scraps of fabric. Opt for paper crinkles, (often found in the gift wrap section), in your basket instead of pesky plastic grass.
- Gift healthy. When giving sweets, look for fair-trade or locally made chocolates to support independent farmers. Consider balancing the sugars with granola bars, trail mixes or other Read the rest of this entry »

The sights on the Katy Prairie are getting better all the time. Visitors this December saw three Bald Eagles flying over Warren Lake and then touching down in a field nearby. Fortunately, one of the eagle-eyed visitors had a camera in hand and managed to shoot some incredible photos, which will be posted on our website soon.
After the event, KPC staff started fielding calls asking how others might visit the lake while the eagles were still soaring overhead. For the time being, the answer is: you can park on the side of Warren Ranch Road at Site 99 on the Great Texas Coastal Birding Trail and set up your scope/binocular/eyes approximately 600 feet from the lake, but you can’t get closer to the water without making special arrangements, as our eagle “scouts” did. But we hope Read the rest of this entry »
