SUMMARY:Pre-Festival Raptor Field Trip: Pollywog Pond + Corpus Christi HawkWatch
DESCRIPTION:Date: Thursday\, September 24\, 2026\nDeparture: 8:00 am\nReturn: 12:00 pm\nPrice: $60 per person\nSpaces Remaining: 4\nREGISTER NOW \nOverview\nKnown as America’s birdiest city\, Corpus Christi is the place to be during the fall migration season. Between August and November\, upwards of one million raptors can be counted at the Corpus Christi HawkWatch\, with daily counts sometimes in excess of 100\,000 migrants. But how can you tell what you’re looking at that high in the sky? \nJoin HawkWatch International’s own Jesse Watson for a half-day of hawkwatching and fall fun at the Corpus Christi HawkWatch and Pollywog Pond. Plus\, you’ll be able to sit back and relax as we do all the driving\, allowing you to (safely) take in all the birds\, all the time. \nWant to learn a little about raptor ID before you head into the field? Join Jesse for an two-hour raptor ID class the night before with a bundled ticket and save 30%! \nWhat to Expect\n \nAfter meeting your fellow participants at the Corpus Christi HawkWatch at Hazel Bazemore County park\, we’ll make the quick trip to Pollywog Pond\, a local hotspot for lots of raptors and other South Texas specialties such as the Green Jay\, Great Kiskadee\, Olive Sparrow\, Clay-colored Thrush\, and Couch’s Kingbird. We’ll head back to the HawkWatch after we’ve had our fill at Pollywog Pond—or if we’re hear that there’s a kettle of Broad-winged Hawks overhead at the platform. You won’t want to miss it! While the exact timing and locations may vary\, our team’s commitment to leading you to the best spot to bird that day won’t. \nWe’ll be back at the HawkWatch by 12pm\, where you’re welcome to enjoy the rest of the afternoon with our incredible crew on the platform; however\, our field trip formally concludes at this time. \nWhat’s Included \n\nRoundtrip transportation from the Corpus Christi HawkWatch located at Hazel Bazemore County Park\nExpert hawkwatching instruction from the HawkWatch International team\n\nWhat’s Not Included \n\nAccommodations*\nGratuities for guides\nMeals or snacks\nOther personal items\n\nTerms & Conditions \n\nThis trip is subject to HWI’s Field Trip and Tour Policies. Payment in full is due at the time of registration\nThis tour is limited to 8 people to ensure an intimate\, high-quality experience for everyone.\nThe minimum number of participants is 3. In the event the minimum is not reached\, we will refund your ticket or issue a receipt for your tax-deductible donation\, whichever you prefer.\nIn the event of poor weather or other suboptimal conditions\, we may opt to bird elsewhere. We’ll be flexible\, so you see as much as possible during your time with us.\n\n*Although lodging is not included\, we highly recommend staying at the Best Western\, as we have coordinated a HawkWatch rate. You must call the Best Western at (361) 241-6363 to secure this rate.

SUMMARY:South Texas Soar & Pour
DESCRIPTION:The raptors are ready to head south for the winter\, and we’re throwing a party to send them off in style. Join HawkWatch International as we celebrate all this soaring with a little beer pouring (and more) at Lazy Beach Brewing’s Southside location in Corpus Christi\, Texas. \nKick back with a cold beer (or root beer!)\, and some of the coolest birds around at the second-annual South Texas Soar & Pour\, a laid-back evening of pre-festival food\, fun\, and games before the annual Celebration of Flight at the Corpus Christi HawkWatch. You’ll have the chance to meet LIVE raptors up close and compete in Bird Brains—HWI’s exclusive game show for people who think they know birds! You do not need to be a raptor expert to participate. In fact… sometimes being too birdy will be to your detriment. \nREGISTER NOW \nBird Brains games will begin at 7:00 p.m. Teams can range in size from 2–6 people\, and each team member should register individually. Be sure to choose your team wisely as games will range from trivia to logic to word games. \nEach ticket includes: \n\nOne complimentary beer and entry into Bird Brains \nMeet-and-greet with live raptors from HawkWatch International\nAnd opportunities to learn more about how to see migrating raptors up close\n\nREGISTER NOW to join us for this fun evening with our feathered friends! \nPlus\, you can upgrade your ticket to include dinner from our friends at Lazy Beaching Brewing! \nNot interested in joining a team for games? You can also snag a drink-only ticket. You can still stop by to meet the birds and enjoy a beer. We’ll also be selling HWI merchandise\, so come grab your gear to get ready for the weekend’s Celebration of Flight! \nThank you to our partners at
