Overview
Indiana Dunes National Park is one of the Midwest's most important migration landscapes, where Lake Michigan, dunes, wetlands, savannas, forests, and wildflower edges create a powerful birding corridor. Ruby-throated Hummingbirds move through the dunes during migration and can be seen feeding in native flowering areas during the warmer months.
Hummingbirds to Watch For
- • Ruby-throated Hummingbird
Most Common Hummingbird
The most commonly sighted hummingbird at Indiana Dunes National Park is the Ruby-throated Hummingbird.
Special Guest Hummingbird
Watch for the Rufous Hummingbird. Rufous Hummingbirds are rare in Indiana and would be unusual visitors compared with the expected Ruby-throated Hummingbird migration.
Best Time to Visit
Plan your visit during May, June, July, August, September, October for the highest chance of hummingbird sightings. Early morning and late afternoon are typically the most active feeding times.
Plants and Habitat
Look for tubular red, orange, and pink blooms, native salvia, and flowering shrubs where hummingbirds prefer to feed.
Visitor Notes
Plan ahead and check the official website for current hours and seasonal closures.
