Rainy season is in full swing here in Mazatlán. We’ve been trying to learn to read the sky to have some idea if rain will come, or not. It’s a new vocabulary of clouds and air feel and what the birds are doing that we are trying to learn.

I’d been ready for the rainstorm Saturday night. All the windows were shut, a few things were moved out of the way that would get wet, and a couple of problem windows had towels at their base. When we got up Sunday it was still a bit drizzly, but it cleared up as the day went on, and turned into a beautiful evening.

This morning we had already let the dogs know we were heading out for a walk when all of a sudden it started raining. It’s been raining for more than an hour now and I have no idea if it will stop shortly or not. Ni modo!

Below is a video from this morning of our cinnamon hummingbird having a bath in the rain. It is almost like having a pet bird – he is in our patio about 80% of the time, and he really does seem to chirp more when he sees us.
