Bird Watching: Where have all the hummers gone... long time passing..., 1 by Elphaba

Seriously, where are they? Is anyone else experiencing a hummer drought? I usually have hummers ten months out of the year. I have tons of nectar producing plants in full bloom, but absolutely no hummers. I even hung a couple of feeders which I don't usually do in the summer, but still no takers.

Is anyone else having this problem? If so, do you know why? Maybe the hurricane? Some areas that were lush are still just buried under sand. Maybe the extremely dry winter and the resulting lack of spring wildflowers? I sure wish they would come back. There are tons of butterflies. I thought the two went hand in hand. Maybe a neighborhood cat is getting them all. Wondered what y'all knew. Thanks.
