scfl47 - Mine are still here. Or at least I still have 3 birds I am seeing regularly. I was told that it isn't the blooms or the warm weather that makes them migrate, but instead the longer length of daylight. So, not sure when most ruby-throated hummers might migrate north from Florida, but mine are still hanging around here as well. And if they happen to be non-migratory birds, I may see them again year round like I did last year. I am wondering when and where they might be breeding, nesting, and raising their young in Florida. I've heard that they do in parts of Florida. Possibly south Florida.
Added to say: Or... maybe right here in Sebastian! :-)

FYI: re breeding Hummers. Don't know of any documented nests, or fledged birds south of Polk Co. in central FL. But again, never say never, but it would be very rare!
