altas, en los riscos que no se pueden subir. Y para cazarlas, usan deste ensayo, que toman un chiquihuite grande de cañas o palmeras; métensele en la cabeza, y comienza de subir el cazador por el risco arriba con su chiquihuite metido en la cabeza; y desque llega acerca a donde está el águila, el águila abádese el cazador, y ase el chiquihuite con las uñas, y llévale asido por el aire y pensando que lleva al hombre; súbese muy alta y déxale cayer, y desciende sobre él, golpeándole; entre tanto el cazador tómale los hijos y vase con ellos. Todas las águilas comen la carne que matan, y no otra.
\nHay otra ave que se llama cozcacuahtli. Es de la ralea de las águilas. Es parda, y tiene las plumas de las alas corvas. Tiene el pico corvo. Parece a las águilas.
\nHay una ave que se llama huactli. Es semejante al ave que se llama cozcacuauhtli. Tiene un canto de que toman a las veces buen agüero y a las veces malo. Algunas veces pronuncia esta palabra: yeccan yeccan, yeccan muchas veces repetida. Y cuando ríe dice ha ha ha ha ha hay ha hay ha hay ai; y esta risa es cuando ve la comida.
\nHay en esta tierra unas aves que comúnmente se llaman auras. Son negras. Tienen la cabeza fea. An[dan]
