This year, on October 11, 2025, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., the Gulf Coast Bird Observatory will host the Smith Point Hawk Watch Celebration at the tower. It’s an opportunity for the community and visitors to come together, celebrate the season’s migration, and enjoy guided experiences in one of the most scenic corners of the upper Texas coast. Whether you’re an avid birder, a conservation enthusiast, or simply someone who enjoys a peaceful drive through coastal countryside, Smith Point and its HawkWatch offer a day trip like no other. Take your time on the journey, savor the views, and let the sight of thousands of migrating raptors remind you of just how connected we are to the rhythms of nature.
