For those who don't know, the largest migratory group of raptors in the US are in Corpus Christi TX in late September and Early October.
Info from past years say "the sky gets dark with so many". Apparently 720,000 were estimated to have migrated through there one year. Hawks, peregrine falcons etc.
I'm trying to head there in early October. Thought others from this area (South east and south Central Texas coast) might try and do the same.

Corpus hawk watch tower folks are having a festival the last full weekend of September. In case you didn't see it, the Houston Chronicle's nature column by Gary Clark was about Texas hawk watch towers (a few weeks ago). If you follow Texbirds, there are frequent comments about both Corpus and Smith Point hawk towers.
