del agua. Y cuando ella se va allá adonde crían, también todas las aves del agua se van tras ella, y van hacia occidente. Los cazadores y pescadores tenían por su espejo a esta ave. Decían que en ella víen los que habían de ser prósperos o no en el oficio de cazar y pescar.
\nHay otra ave del agua que se llama acóyotl. Es de la manera de la gallina del agua, como la de arriba dicha. También viene por Sanctiago a esta laguna de México. Tiene la cabeza tan grande como una gallina desta tierra. Tiene el pico agudo y negro, redondo. Tiene las orillas del pico amarillas. Tiene blanco el pecho. Tiene las espaldas y las alas y la cola pardo, como pato. Tiene el cuerpo largo y grueso. Tiene las piernas cortas y los pies anchos, como una mano de persona, y tiénelos muy hacia la cola. También es rara esta ave; pocas veces parece. Y también sume a los que andan en las canuas. Toda la fábula que se dice del atotoli de arriba se dice también deste acóyotl. Es de muy buen comer.
