Hawkeyes Wanted by Heather Bacher, GCBO It's time for the 8th Annual Smith Point Fall Hawk Watch. As you know, the Smith Point Hawk Watch is the only organized hawk watch on the Upper Texas Coast. Smith Point is an extremely good place to watch south bound raptors because geography and wind direction work together to funnel birds down the point and over the hawk watch site. On days with north winds, observers may be treated to the spectacle of thousands of Broad-winged Hawks and hundreds of accipiters streaming over the hawk watch tower. Twenty species of raptors have been seen including Swallow-tailed Kites, Peregrine Falcons, and occasionally even a Bald Eagle! Smith Point is also a great place to see migrating songbirds. Nearby oak mottes provide food and shelter for warblers, orioles, gnatcatchers and buntings also heading south for winter. Large numbers of Ruby-throated Hummingbirds, swallows and Scissor-tailed Flycatchers also pass over the point on their way south. To date, 153 species of birds have been identified at Candy Abshier by official hawk counters. The Gulf Coast Bird Observatory, working with HawkWatch International, is now preparing to publish the results of last year's watch.
