The Mexican Ixtoc oil well blowout resulted in extensive oil contamination along the Texas Gulf coast. This oil posed a potential hazard to migrating birds including the endangered peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus). Laboratory tests with the American kestrel (Falco sparverius) indicated that the oil: water mixture gathered at the surface of the blowout site posed little acute hazard to falcons.
墨西哥伊克托克油井井喷导致得克萨斯湾沿岸大面积油污。这些油污对包括濒危游隼（矛隼）在内的候鸟构成潜在威胁。对美洲隼进行的实验室测试表明，油井井喷现场表面聚集的油水混合物对隼类几乎没有急性危害。
