It is a waterfowl. It is named icxixoxouhqui because its legs are green. Its bill is small and cylindrical, small and slender, black, curved upward. Its head is quite small, white; it is rather long-necked. Its breast, its back are white; its tail is also white. Quite small are its wings; the upper surfaces are black, and the under surfaces quite white; its wing-bends have black placed on both surfaces. And when it has shed, its head and neck are almost chili-red, reaching to its wing-bends. It raises its young here, two or four young, when the rains come. It is also edible. And it also leaves when [the other water] birds migrate.
