I will continue to freshen in hopes of a rufous.
I had a couple last winter. I'm hoping for something even rarer - several possibilities, and even some extreme rarities happen (like Green Mango in Dublin, GA a decade ago). I always have the feeder up that is outside of my office window.

I had none for a couple days, now two. There must still be trickle through my area. No bees yet, which it what often makes me give up.

Not seeing any in the last few days. Bees are still here because my neighbor has a bunch of bee boxes. Time to take the feeder down.

yep only two left in my yard, but only the wife has seen them. I haven't seen any in a few days, we took down the main feeder and will take down the other feeders this week.

Yep, mine have moved on too. Since this last cool snap, I haven’t seen one.

Northshore.
We still have about 8 feeders set and several birds buzzing each other, but the numbers are dropping.
We have had hummingbirds (Rufous) stay with us through a winter in years past, so we will keep watching and feeding for several more weeks.

I will be taking down the last feeder today after not seeing any hummers for just about a week. The temperatures here will dip into the low 30's to upper 20's in a few days.

Saw one in backyard yesterday and I do not have any feeders. Kinda shocked me because he was 2’ from me for a few seconds.
Covington area.

Wife got a pick of one earlier this week. Very dark bird. Doesn’t look like a rufous.

None at my feeders in at least 2 weeks but I saw one at a friend's house a couple of days ago. Weirdly, it flew up to a feeder with bird seed, and then flew off. Probably a ruby-throated from what I saw of it.

Heh - just had an immature Ruby-throated Hummingbird at my feeder. It ain't quite over yet. But after late October the records get to be pretty unusual and there is a good chance of a more western species.
We've had a really good fall for western species in the Florida panhandle. Scissor-tailed Flycatcher, Vermillion Flycatcher, Western Kingbird, Groove-billed Ani, Bronzed Cowbird, Tropical Kingbird. Every fall a few western birds decide to migrate east and then down the Florida peninsula rather than down through Texas. Birding spots next to a Florida beach can be interesting this time of year.

Had a female Ruby Throat yesterday right at dark. My all time record late bird by a good bit.

Winter hummingbird banding season along the Gulf Coast is off to a strong start, with a Calliope banded in Panama City last weekend, and a Buff-bellied in Pensacola.
Keep a feeder out and your eyes peeled!
Immature Calliope, notice the purplish throat feathers vs red
Buff-bellied
