Lechuza

"While the Spanish wordlechuza describes a ""barn owl,"" the name holds a more spooky association. According to Mexican and Texano legend, La Lechuza was a large owl with an old woman's face, known for appearing outside homes and looking in windows. This mythical figure was not to be messed with, as she is often depicted on the hunt for vengeance! Though the legend of La Lechuza won't be in your little one's bedtime story line-up, they can still appreciate their name's connection to Mexican culture."
