The only CJ expression referring (also) to the heron I found in "The
Chinook Book" of W.S. Phillips ("El Comancho"), under the heading
KULLAKULLA:

"Siah lepee kullakulla mitlite copo chuck illahee," "A long legged bird
that-lives-in the water-land (swamps)." (The crane, snipe or heron.)

But I don't know about any specific denomination for the blue heron.

Does anyone know if there's a word for a Blue Heron (also known as the
Great Blue Heron)?
