Spatula (bird)

It is a duck. It is named yacapatlauac because its bill is somewhat long and very wide at the end. It is the size of a goose. When it comes here, its feathers are still completely ashen: but when it lives here, it molts twice. First it sheds its downy feathers; and the second time is when it is about to leave. Its head is a very resplendent black as far as its shoulders. Its eyes are yellow, its breast whitish, its back ashen. Its tail is white at the base, ashen at its ends. Its wings are silvery; its flight feathers green, glistening, black at the ends. Its wing tips are ashen; its belly shows tawny; its legs are chili-red. Also it does not rear its young here; it also migrates. It is edible. Many come here.
