Indiana is Ruby-throated Hummingbird country, with the species moving through forests, gardens, Audubon sanctuaries, urban nature preserves, and Lake Michigan migration corridors from spring through early fall. The state's standout hummingbird destination is Mary Gray Bird Sanctuary, Indiana Audubon's flagship property and home of the annual Hummingbird Migration Celebration. From Eagle Creek Park's dedicated hummingbird garden in Indianapolis to Indiana Dunes National Park's shoreline migration habitat and Wesselman Woods' old-growth urban forest, this trail highlights the best Indiana places where hummingbirds, habitat, education, and visitor access come together.
