Flowers are so plentiful this time of year, feeders tend to get short shrift.
To the best of my knowledge, there are still hummingbirds in Florida. Local conditions make a difference: like I said, you won't see a lot at a feeder if there's loads of natural food nearby.
Never seen fireflies out here in California, but I see them in my parents' back yard when we visit there in the summer in Minnesota.
When I moved here there were loads of mockingbirds, going at it all night. They faded out for a few years, and now seem to be back again. I don't pay much attention. There are crows aplenty, and when I fill my seed feeder, I see lots of other birds. Anywhere there's water and grass, like golf courses, the Canadian geese abound, and cover everything with shit.
Thanks for the nighthawk reference. In my book I've been looking for an alternative to "bats" as frantic night-flying animals, and nighthawks, which I'd never heard of, work much better.

Hummingbirds we got.
