I wasn’t going to say anything here, because I’ve been trying to self promote less now that we’re a big enough group, but that so many upvoted this without any kind of promoting felt really nice.
Especially from someone like you who has stuck around a long time now without even being super interested in the subject matter tells me I’m doing something right.
I have a hard time thinking I ever accomplish much of anything important, but a number of you have said some really nice things the last week or so and it’s meant a lot to me. I try my best to show that appreciation back, and I hope I do that.
And I’ll always argue that even though I provide most of the posts, it wouldn’t be a fun place without all of you that do come and comment or just keep the place active and a generally good place to be. It encourages me to keep giving it my best efforts even if I’m not typically a super social person. You’re a really great group and I feel fortunate you share your time with me.
Hey fun fact I actually confirmed chicuahtli is the barred owl in Nahuatl after finding the word chichtli for barn owl.
It’s still a mess online sorting it out when doing searches for it and I haven’t cross referenced versus other dialects.
Regardless keep posting owl pics. I’ve been doing Codex research for fun and found a good source for images. I’ll start keeping note of where I find owls and reach out later.
Very nice! I’m into whatever info you have to share! Always down to learn more about other cultures.
If you ever assemble anything to read, I’d love to hear about some of what you’ve learned about owls or the Nahuatl in general. You’ve had to have put in a lot of hard work and I’m sure you’ve connected a ton of great random bits of history and culture.

PS. Chicuahtli forever!
