Every March there is a "Hawk Watch" in Tubac, Arizona along the Santa Cruz River, 15 miles north of the US/Mexico border to see hundreds of raptors migrating into the US.
You bring a chair, your breakfast (or lunch), water, binoculars, and camera to get a glimpse of some of the rarer raptors: Common Black Hawk (US population 300 nesting pairs); Zone Tailed Hawk (US population 300 nesting pairs), and Gray Hawk (US population 100 nesting pairs).
Last March I joined the crowds and got this photo of a Common Black Hawk. Ironically called "Common" as if they were everywhere:
