  I've never seen a specific word for this bird, either. Not sure why there is not one, but perhaps this bird lacked usefulness in a CJ context?

  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.

    The Jargon seems to have developed words for specific animals.  Does anyone know if there's a word for a Blue Heron (also known as the Great Blue Heron)?
