Finally have hummers to watch here, after 7-8 years. I got excited early in the season and put out a feeder but had no takers. Also not much planted to draw them. 2 weeks ago noticed a couple of of them trying to find nectar (ha!) among the drying hydrangea blooms, and checking out the spot where the feed hung early in the season (had left the red hook from which it had been suspended.)

Rewarded! See a few every morning before work and in the evening after work since I put the feeder back up. Need to figure out a place to hang it nearer to where I sit so I can watch more closely.

Thanks for resurrecting this thread, maeve!
