Ainu Bird Names? (1 Viewer)

Well-known member
This is a VERY esoteric sort of request, but I don't suppose anyone has or has seen anywhere seen anywhere a list of the names given to birds in the Ainu language? I've managed to track down the names of some of the more "iconic" species - Red-crowned Crane, Steller's Sea Eagle and White-tailed Eagle but would ideally like to try and track down the names of all the species I saw when I was in Hokkaido.

So, if you happen to know where to find the names of any of the following, please let me know! Thanks!

Slaty-backed Gull
Glaucous Gull
Glaucous-winged Gull
Goldeneye
Scaup
Harlequin Duck
Black Scoter
Red-breasted Merganser
Great Spotted Woodpecker
Japanese Pygmy Woodpecker
Japanese / Great Tit
Eurasian Nuthatch
Pelagic Cormorant
Japanese Cormorant
Brown Eared Bulbul
Whooper Swan
Black-necked Grebe
Large-billed/Japanese Crow
Carrion Crow
Black Kite
White / Black-backed Wagtail

Thanks again!
