I keep my feeders out well into October and sometimes later hoping someday for a Rufous Hummingbird. They pass through the Northeast in small numbers in autumn every year. This would be a bit like hitting the lottery, but hey, you never know!

    I have seen possibly a young male hummer at my window feeder twice last evening and
again this morning twice.  He was small and had darker chest coloring.  He also drank mostly on the wing. 
   
   The last time I saw my adult female was on Tuesday afternoon.
   
    I intend to make a fresh batch of nectar and maintain my feeders thru the 23rd or longer.
I still have impatiens, petunias, heliotrope, torenia, and a few garden phlox that the deer
decided not to eat so I could enjoy.

I always miss them.  I did find some interesting hummers other than the Ruby Throat when I was
looking at some You Tube videos of Tobago.
