    Overview

    Strawberry Plains Audubon Center is Mississippi's essential Hummingbird Trail location. Each September, the center's Hummingbird Migration and Nature Celebration draws visitors to experience Ruby-throated Hummingbirds during one of the most exciting moments of the season. Banding demonstrations, education programs, native habitat, and feeder activity help visitors understand migration in a direct and memorable way. The sanctuary's meadows, woodlands, and historic landscape create a rich setting where hummingbirds can feed and rest before continuing south. For Nectarbloom, Strawberry Plains is more than a listing; it is a cornerstone destination that connects community science, conservation, migration, and public wonder. If Mississippi has one must-publish hummingbird location, this is it.
