My wife and I are fairly serious birders and have a LOT of feeders of kinds at our home in North Carolina. When we bought our retirement home in The Villages last year, we had hummingbird-friendly plants put in and plan on putting up one or more hummingbird feeders. Despite all that, we both completely missed the fact that that hummer don't really live in Florida and only pass through (or are lost, as Jima64 points out). Ouch! The wife isn't going to enjoy hearing that!
