Audubon Chapters and Hummingbirds in Mississippi

Hummingbirds in Mississippi

The existing state species guide lists Ruby-throated, Rufous, and Buff-bellied Hummingbird. Statewide occurrence is not a guarantee of a sighting in any particular city.

When to expect them

The state migration guide gives typical arrival as Late February – early March and departure as Late October. Some birds overwinter along the coast, so a feeder year-round is worthwhile.
