Narrative:

I flew today to practice VFR maneuvers; perform touch-and-goes; and maintain overall proficiency. I checked notams before flight; received a standard weather briefing from foreflight; and filed a VFR flight plan. To fly in the local area; all flight operations occur in the vicinity of several private use airports (without a CTAF frequency printed on the VFR sectional chart); [military airport] restricted airspace; multiple moas; military helicopter training flights; parachute jumping; and uav operations. These hazards occur routinely throughout the airspace; regardless of notams; and constant pilot vigilance is required. In addition; there has been a standing NOTAM for parachute jumping at a private airfield near my home airport.as I was flying north today towards an airport in the vicinity of the parachute jump airfield; I noticed a parachute jumper above and about 2 miles ahead of my flight path. I turned east to stay well clear of the jumper; and I continuously performed a visual scan for a potential jump plane; but saw no other aircraft. I also have ads-B in/out installed in my aircraft's panel; and no traffic was displayed preceding this event. After approximately another minute of elapsed flight time; a descending aircraft (along with its tail number) eventually appeared on my ads-B displays in close proximity to my aircraft. However; neither my tablet display nor my panel avionics annunciated an audible traffic conflict warning.this event reinforces the limitations of both visual see-and-avoid and ads-B traffic displays when non-collaborating aircraft are maneuvering near each other. As always; pre-flight planning; situational awareness; visual scanning; aviate/navigate/communicate priorities; and constant vigilance are paramount to overcome these limitations.
