If you feed hummingbirds in the summer, keep doing it in the winter because one species stays over. Food supplies including insects and flower nectar are in short supply, so they need you more than ever to survive the winter. If the temperature is going to drop below freezing, it does make it easier to manage if you bring the feeders inside overnight.
