Mississippi is “Nature’s Playground” and it’s home to some of the best-kept secrets in ecotourism.

In celebration of the natural connection between birding and photography, the Pascagoula River Audubon Center will host the 2019 Audubon Photography Awards Traveling Exhibition at 5107 Arthur Street between January 8 and January 29. Visitors of all ages will enjoy a display of the winning photos as well as learn more about local birdlife in Moss Point. Reproductions of the winning photos will be available for sale.

With the support of the Bacot-McCarty Foundation, Chevron Refinery and the Imperial Palace Casino, among many others, the Center is hosting the “Birds of a Feather” fundraiser to invite current and potential supporters to visit and learn more about new and existing programs. The event will take place along the bayou on Thursday, Oct. 24, from 6 to 9 p.m.
