tecolotl.

TECOLŌ-TL, onomatopoetic, Great Horned Owl (Bubo virginianus) [FC: 42 Tecolotl] “It is round, like a ball. The back is rounded. The eyes are like spindle whorls; shiny. It has horns of feathers. The head is ball-like, round; the feathers thick, heavy. It is blinded during the day. It is born in crags, in trees. It feeds by night, because it sees especially well in the dark. It has a deep voice when it hoots; it says, tecolo, tecolo, o, o.” A fine description of a Great Horned Owl (Bubo virginianus), particularly, the vocalizations. This term might apply more widely to a variety of owl species within its extended range. May be generalized to a variety of owl species.
