Overview
Every September, tens of thousands of Ruby-throated Hummingbirds descend on the Gulf Coast town of Rockport-Fulton for one of the most spectacular avian staging events in North America. These tiny travelers are preparing for the hardest leg of their migration — a non-stop Gulf crossing — and they need to nearly double their body weight in fat before departure. The annual HummerBird Celebration, held each September, offers guided van tours to participating private homes and gardens where feeders buzz with activity, expert banders demonstrate their craft, and naturalists lead discussions on avian migration science. About ten hummingbird species have been identified in the Rockport area during peak season, making this Gulf Coast jewel a genuinely unmissable destination for the Hummingbird Trail.
