Where? Mission, Texas - Bentesen Rio Grande Valley State Park


Every Sunday. Be a hawk counter on our ADA-accessible tower and witness the spectacle of hawks in migration. Observers have documented 27 raptor species in the park, often 14 or more in a single morning, including Rio Grande Valley specialties like gray hawk and hook-billed kite, and flights of several thousand broad-winged hawks in a day. Bring binoculars, sunhat, sun block and drinking water, or buy it all in our park store before riding to the tower on the park's tram. Accessible for the mobility and visually impaired. 9 a.m.-noon (956) 584-9156.
