Event Details
Join Indiana Audubon each year at Mary Gray Bird Sanctuary for the Hummingbird Migration Celebration (HMC). It’s a day dedicated to one of Indiana’s most dazzling summer visitors: the Ruby-throated Hummingbird as it prepares to migrate south for the winter.
This all-ages event features live hummingbird banding experiences, guided hikes, mini-workshops, educational programs, family activities, vendors, food, and more — all on the beautiful 735-acre Mary Gray Bird Sanctuary. The Hummingbird Migration Celebration is one of Indiana Audubon’s signature public events, welcoming hundreds of families, birders, and nature lovers to connect with wildlife and conservation in a hands-on way since 2018.
Why Hummingbirds? The Ruby-throated Hummingbird is Indiana’s only hummingbird species, and early August marks peak migration, offering a rare chance to witness active research and live banding demonstrations on site.
