Hummingbirds of Ajijic



Here is a short video of the hummingbirds in our backyard. You can hear the chirps of the birds, as well as the sound of the rainbirds in the background. The rainbirds are actually cicadas that bury themselves in the ground and come out every 17 years to mate and then die! They do this just before the rainy season. It is said that 6 weeks after the first sound of the rainbirds, one can expect the rains to begin.
