Blue Heron

[Francisc Czobor]

Klahowya Ooshtaqi !
   
  as already discussed earlier in this list, the CJ name for "robin" is pil k'oaten (according to Boas, and after him Shaw), that is pil k'watin "red belly".

  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)?
