I spent about 3 hours looking from about 11am to 2 pm in the rain with my camera . When the rain let up I saw both Ruby-throated and Buff-bellied, but no Mango... I'm curious to which red flowers Bob was talking about. Seems to me he was describing Fire Bush... but in the rain there are red flower that are closed making them look tubular as well on the interior of the garden. Check out http://www.xeno-canto.org/species/Anthracothorax-viridis for the call. It is a much higher pitch than any of the hummers at Castello. I do recall hearing something like that on the day of the first report weeks ago. I did not hear anything like that today.
