CHILLIN Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 What is a rain bird? Do you mean a cicada or katydid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dichosalocura Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 I always thought the rain birds were just the local variety of cicada that usually sing and breed weeks before the rains come. Sometimes I have surprised them singing ferociously up on my mirador, the guys I have seen were definately cicadas. A katydid is much more closely related to the grasshopper and don't sing quite like the the high shrilling cicadas. And yes, they have singing in Chapala now for over a week or so.
