Thanks Anne.
I am not sure about your hummingbirds, but if I do not have the feeders out and in place when they arrive, they will hover at the window to get my attention that I have not done my job. A few years ago when I was visiting friends in Sedona Arizona I was looking out their window and a Black-chinned hummingbird was hovering at a fork in the Juniper tree in their backyard. When I asked them about it, they said that is where we hung the hummingbird feeder last year and have not got it out yet.
Remember whether it is Hummingbirds, Purple Martins, Chimney Swifts, or other birds they have an address and return. They can migrate thousands of miles and return to the same location. When Dr Bednarz from Arkansas State University was studying Thrushes in Idaho, banded birds that had migrate 1,000 miles returned to the same spot each year. When I was watching Dawn and Ross Carrie in Texas band birds a White-eyed Vireo was caught in the mist net just 6 feet from where it was caught and banded the year before.
Remember that birds have an address and if their habitat has changed and is no longer there, their survival and success in seeking other unoccupied habitat is reduced and this reduces their chance for survival.

This migration map is one you can follow to provide insight when the Ruby-throated Hummingbirds and others might arrive. There are other sites. My hummingbirds usually arrive in Hot Springs on the 3rd week in March. They are already in Texas, Mississippi, and Florida now. Be thinking about getting your feeders clean and ready.
