It comes after the pelican [as a waterfowl]. It is also the heart of the water; it also is the leader of the [water] birds. It also appears at the time that the water birds come, on the Feast Day of Santiago. Its head is as large as the turkey hen’s. The bill is pointed, black, quite cylindrical; the outer edge of the tip is yellow. Its breast is rather white. Its back, its wings are all ashen, blackish, like duck feathers. It is long-bodied. Its legs are thick, not long; they are at its rump, almost at its tail. Its feet are very wide, like our hands. It also is rare; it also can sink one. All told of the pelican also [applies] similarly to the water turkey.
