Thank you -- they are something of an obsession.
Yes; a dozen different varieties of salvias, plus durantas, clerodendrums, techamarias, cuphias, and assorted aloes. We take the feeders down as soon as blooms start setting in earnest.

We had feeders in Louisiana.
I would have to find dog friendly plants if I wanted to attract them for migrating season. I think they start showing up here around March.
It gets hot with no rain during summer here.
We are lucky to have to non-migratory species here in Southern California -- Allen's (aka Zippy) and Anna's. The rufous come in late spring and fall, but breed up in Washington/Oregon. Our summer heat and multi year drought have hit the plants hard here generally, scrambling their sense of when it is and what it should be doing.

We get Ruby Throated and Black Chinned, but I don't think I have ever seen the latter. We have horrible droughts and temps above 100 during the summer. Everything suffers.
What I love about your hummingbird pics is I see so many different species. I didn't know they were brown ones, and those copper feathers stunned me. You are indeed. fortunate.
