Is iomaí glaoch atá ag an mheantán mhór; ach tá sé ag rá ar bhealaí éagsúla: 'Títear domh! Títear domh!' [...go bhfuil an tEarrach ar fáil!]. Is léir go bhfuil mionchanúint de Ghaeilge Uladh aige: títear = tchíthear = feictear; domh = dom

(birds)
LAT-1: It is not clear of English's distinction of 'the cormorant' (Phalacrocorax carbo) and 'the shag' (Gulosus aristotelis) over the years (see: Íomha 'LAT-1' thíos); and furthermore, the ability to distinguish between the two species must be questioned on various levels. In dictionaries, were the questionners and the respondants referring to the same species? Were they looking at the same bird, and did they both understand that there was a distinction that is, or may have been, made?

As siocair go bhfuil 'cailleach dhubh' agus 'broigheall' luaite ag Seán Ó Ruadháin san abairt chéanna, an ainmneacha difiúla iad (.i. 'cailleach dhubh' & 'broigheall') ar 'Phalacrocorax carbo' aige, nó an bithghnéithe/speicis difiúla aige iad?

GLE-5: comhrá le Antóin Ó Mianáin (2024) ar thuras 'Colmcille'; agus comhrá le Jimmy McGinty (2025) ar an difear idir 'treathlach' agus 'duibhéan' le linn cúrsa le Oideas Gael. An leagan éagsúil, 'treathlach', le fáil in Hamilton.
'Ag teacht anuas go dtí an cladach dó, rinne na faoileógaí doicheall roimhe, agus sgread siad go géar cianach, agus chroith na cailleachaí dubha a gcuid eiteóg fada air, agus d'imthigh na píobairí trágha nuair a tháinig sé i n-aice leó.'

CIALL: Treathlach (Phalacrocorax carbo) óg sa néad.
MEANING: nestling of gannet [FGB]
Corraí is ainm dos na gearrcaigh a bhíonn age sna gainnéid agus an uair a bhíd siad aibidh is saill iad go léir agus is ar an gcloich is lugha aca san a bheireann na gainnéid ar fad agus níl aon radharc ach a mbíonn de sna h-éin óga ann. Bhíodh bád agus dáréag fear innte ag faire na cloiche, í amuich ó’n maighistir talmhan agus iad díolta go maith. (XVII - AN OBAIR AGUS AN SEACHRÁN)

Question: But is Poecile hudsonicus rare in Cape Breton??? https://www.capeandislands.org/in-this-place/2020-12-09/the-rare-and-mysterious-boreal-chickadee
Question: Is the Highland Village Museum's YouTube video correct in matching the 'chickadee' photo with the correct bird call, and with the correct bird referred to in Gaelic? Is the call from a chickadee or a titmouse or a tit? Are these words interchangeable in Cape Breton English, or do they differentiate various types of tit-like birds?
