Looks like the little guys are headed to Mexico. Here is my last pic. I also have a nice video. Hope to see them next May. Keep your feeders out for the travellers!
Looks like my Hummingbirds have vamoosed.

I made the decision to not put out a feeder this year. My wife won't get rid of the stupid feral cats hanging around (actively feeds them) and I don't want them killing any more birds than they already do.
Here in Washington my Anna's Hummingbirds never leave they winter over. So I keep the feeder out for them. Bring them in at night in the colder months so they won't freeze. Put them back out at first light and they are buzzing me to get at the feeders.

We are seeing more of them around here.
Came home from the stores at 8:30 tonight, first time my wife and realized, oh crap, its dark outside already ... 
Some yellow jackets were chasing them at the feeder. The Hummingbirds stay clear of them for sure. I put up a trap for the wasps and collected dozens.
Hummingbirds around here (northern Minnesota) were slurping down a ton of nectar. I was refilling all three of my feeders every day they were guzzling it so much.
I’ve been watching and the activity around them has died down. I get a few still but I imagine in a week or so I won’t have any more feeding at my location.
I’ll leave them out for a bit to feed any passersby but I’ll take them in by Labor Day.

I’m in So NH. They must be making a pitstop because the past week I went from the normal 2 to more than 10. I also have two woodpeckers that like the feeders.
Still have my three fighting over the feeder here in North AL.
Being in the Bay Area Anna's hummingbirds never leave.
Ours will leave in Late Sept in Pa
The Rose of Sharon bush is the big attractor right now around me. I have big one in the backyard and the hummers come three times a day.
I see them down at the pond too stealing stuff from the spider webs in the willow trees over the water.

Ours are stills tanking up like crazy. Such feisty and territorial little devils too! They're always chasing each other away from our 8 or so feeders and chirping at each other.
They move so darned fast and disappear, then reappear, it's hard to get a bead on how many there actually are!
