Hummingbird Festival

From Hummingbird Festival Website:

The Hummingbird Festival in Diamondhead, MS not only provides family-friendly fun for those who are interested in and love hummingbirds, but also servesas a fundraising event for Master's Call Ministries International (MCMI). It began in 2012 at the home of Robert and Rhonda Vaughan. The Festival has grown and continues to grow each year with new vendors, a variety of speakers and presentations, visitors from around the South, and most importantly ...hummingbirds! Each year, the hummingbirds come back with multiplied numbers!

Featured at each event is James Bell, a certified bander from Carriere, Mississippi, who captures, weighs, measures, tags, and releases hummingbirds so they can be further studied and better understood. In 2017, James Bell was able to band 20 birds during the one-day event, and people flocked around to see the little guys up close and get a chance to even hold one!
