We have only occasionally seen hummingbirds in our six years here. They seem mostly attracted to plants rather than feeders. They are definitely not here in big numbers. This is perhaps because we are not on the overland migration path from the north to the south. Flying from Florida across the Gulf to Mexico is extremely difficult for hummingbirds as their style of flight requires such huge reserves of energy for anything like that distance.
