Those that do will do so when the time is right for them to do so. Males generally migrate several weeks ahead of immature hummingbirds, which are also known as new hatchlings, and females. When migration occurs is determined by a change in the length of the day or photoperiod. It is important to keep in mind that not all species of hummingbirds migrate.

People are wrapping their hummingbird feeders in Christmas tree lights (old style, not LED), duct-taping hand warmers to them, wrapping with pipe warming tape, and setting them on seed warming mats. Not all at once. We're seeing more birds than normal at ours, so I think that some neighbors are fair-weather feeders. We're just keeping the feeders inside overnight. Saturday I had to rotate during the day but otherwise it's been all right. I just checked the local Tweeters bird-watchers list.
