en la cabeza, colorado. Tiene el pecho y barriga y la cola y las alas de color encarnado, muy fino, y las espaldas y los codos de las alas muy colorado. El pico tiene amarillo, y los pies amarillos. Dicen que este ave es el príncipe de las garzotas blancas que se juntan a él donde quiera que le ven.
\nHay otra avecilla de plumas ricas que se llama xiuhquéchol. Tiene la pluma verde como yerba. Tiene las alas azules, y también la cola. Críase esta ave hacia las partes que llaman Anáhuac, que es al oriente de México, hacia la Mar del Sur.
\nHay otra ave que se llama zacuan. Tiene el pico agudo y las plumas de sobre el pico tiene coloradas. Tiene las plumas leonadas por todo el cuerpo. Las plumas de la cola son amarillas muy finas y resplandecientes. Tiene la misma cola otras plumas negras con que cubre las amarillas cuando vuela, y estiende la cola; entonces se parecen las plumas amarillas, reverberan la color amarilla con las negras, y así parecen como llama de fuego, y como oro. Críanse en Anáhuac.
