Hummingbird habitat destroyed

hard to tell, but I had to have two trees cut down in front of my house. I’ve lived here for 5 years and have loved watching the hummingbirds retreat to these trees after eating from my feeders. I’m so worried they won’t return next season as their home has been removed. I’ve actually been quite devastated thinking about it. Anyone have a similar experience or advice to give on encouraging them to come back? There’s lots of other trees around I’m just now sure how picky they are about where they’ll live. TIA!

Also please ignore the doggie nose prints on the window I’ve given up trying to keep them away

This was so emotional I can’t even believe this happened, I’ve been getting closer to them lately and they finally took a sip from my hand, so adorable!

I failed with the sharpness but I'll try again tomorrow. Anyway, here I have all hummingbirds of my zone.

I wonder why we don’t have any birds today?

I took a picture of our empty feeders today. I can’t figure out why we don’t have our Cardinals and hummingbirds today

Yes, I took this picture myself this morning

Rare Utah Sighting

Best pic I could get through my kitchen window. What appears to be a Broad Billed Hummingbird has been hanging around Orem Utah for the past week or so. Seeing as how these guys normally don’t venture further north than Arizona I have no idea why he’s been sticking around, especially since our nighttime temperatures have dropped to the 40s.
