Expect hummingbirds to start arriving in Mississippi in early March, with the season peaking in the summer months.
Male hummingbirds set forth first, migrating a few weeks ahead of females to begin the breeding season.
Ruby-throated and Rufous hummingbirds are among the primary species to visit or dwell in Mississippi.
Fill your garden with native, nectar-rich plants like lantana and salvia to naturally attract hummingbirds.
Maintain a healthy insect population by avoiding chemicals in your garden; hummingbirds need these critters for protein.
Hummingbird feeders offer vital energy, especially when natural food is scarce during migration periods.
Prepare to bid adieu to hummingbirds as they typically start leaving Mississippi in November.
Keep the feeders out until late November to support any straggling birds before their migration journey.
