If you location is attractive to Hummers I don't see any reason you wouldn't see some coming through starting about right "NOW".
Had 5 hummers in my yard yesterday and only 2 today. That indicates that several hummers have decided that it's time to head North.
I expect to see many transients during the next three weeks! Staying a day a two and then moving on.
Just keep a sharp eye out and keep your feeders in tip top shape!

I don't know about Pensacola but I can tell you that if you plant lots of varieties of salvias and pentas you will increase the likelihood of hummingbirds visiting your yard. I was bemoaning the fact they the hummers had apparently left my yard when I was outside yesterday morning. All of a sudden I sensed something zooming past my shoulder, looked down and discovered a male rubythroated hummer had decided the pineapple sage had just what he wanted for breakfast. What a great way to start my day!
Try some salvias, sages, and pentas. There are a lot more plants too but the hummers find these irresistible in my yard. Good Luck!

I don't know why but I haven't seen anything all week. I have so much in bloom from many types of salvias to pentas to firespikes to bottlebrush (in my neighbors yard) that I can't imagine they are gone. I had so many travel through in the fall that I was sure they would stop on the way back but NADA. I miss my hummers!
