A common sandpiper search for food. I was quite impressed that the bird was able to stand on the stone this way.

Clanmew translations of some ocs

Petalsnow: Pfefiurch (Fluff petal-snow)

Snow prefix is supposed to mean snowfall

Hawkstep/star: Yi'issappa/Yi'ishai (Sparrowhawk-padding/star)

Not sure on the suffix

Rookstorm: Mraawbahahao (Crow-haster)

Doesn't seem to be a word for rook, went for haster because this man is a violent storm apparently

Willowmoon: Sawashowosha (Gray willow-moon halo)

Combined "shom" and "wosha" for the prefix, was very tempted to name them pussywillow but gray willow won in the end

Runningflame: Gabrllfyn (Crackling-cooking fire)

Sounds like a honor title tbh, this man can cook

Stoneclaw: Bponbkach (Boulder-claw)

She's a big woman, so big stone word it is

Monkeyfoot: Kossachungpwyyarr (Tree monster-foot)

Combination of "kossa" and "kichung" for the prefix, meant to be the generic term for certain animals. He'd likely have a honor title like Monkeyscar

Thundershine: Krrakashemimi (Thunder-has shined)

Meant to symbolize that lightning has hit and thunder will come soon

Splinterstripe: Karkseek (Chip-long stripe)

Couldn't find splinter so chip it is, neither of the stripe words really fit them but I went with seek because it sounds better

Piperleap/star: Krekekluara/Krekekshai (Gray heron-has jumped/star)

Piper wasn't on the lexicon so I just went for a bird word that began with K to match with their siblings. The leap part of their name symbolizes their shift from cleric training to becoming a warrior

Tinybounce: Eebpipip (Small-bouncing) or Peskepipip (small cluster of flowers-bouncing)

Little guy, so smol. Second translation was literally made because it fits with zir family's names so well (such as petal and rose)

Runningflame/Crackling-Cookingfire/Gabrilfyn is absolutely my favorite, TOTALLY sounds like an honor title, 100% excellent

Here's some more words for you! While I'm at it, I'll fill out the missing corvids;

Rook (Corvus frugilegus) = Naahg

Jackdaw (Corvus monedula) = Niw

Hooded Crow (Corvus cornix) = Aai

Red-billed Chough (Pyrrhocorax pyrrhocorax) = Hraor

This, with Nyok for Raven, Rawk for Carrion Crow, Ke'ek for Magpie, and Mraaw for Corvids as a generic term, completes the entire family!

Next is a few wood-related terms that are missing;

Splinter = Koa

Wood (General) = Okok

Pith (The spongy inner wood of plants, usually in reference to flax or soft rush) = Sowa

And lastly... on pipers.

Pipers are a rare bird for Clan cats to see. They're mostly shorebirds that come in-land to nest. There's well over a dozen fat, thin-billed, long-legged little waterbirds (called Waders) they see on a regular basis, but the two piper species they'd know about would be very rare.

So here's a generic term for you, and a couple of the most common ones. I found a good way to give you a K-term while most of this family has peepy-type calls;

Wader (Generic) = Kikaboo From Fang + Beak + Fat. Includes rails, coots, pipers, dunlins, etc. Birds with long legs, long little beaks like a tooth, and round bodies, found near water.

Beak (of a bird) = Kaba

Moorhen = Ia The most common wader in the territory. The closest thing to a chicken the Clan cats have.

Curlew (Numenius arquata) = Urloop An interesting little bird that nests close to kestrel nests, in spite of the danger. Featured in a Clanmew saying, "Curlew in the shadow of a kestrel," roughly means, "Choosing danger for the sake of safety"

Little Ringed Plover (Charadrius dubius) = Bieew A symbol of peace between RiverClan and WindClan in the Lake territory. The southern delta is mostly gravel and stony, the exact place that a Bieew likes to nest. Both Clans have an interest in protecting these pretty little birds, which can bring them together for negotiation.

Common Sandpiper (Actitis hypoleucos) = Peepapi A rare shore-dwelling bird that occasionally comes in-land to nest; not discovered until the Clan cats returned to the Lake. When used as a name, has a connotation of traveling or going on a salt patrol.

Laguna de La Playa, Saladas de Sástago-Bujaraloz

These saladas (salt lakes) make up an important part of the environment around the Monegros desert in Aragon. This one specifically has historically been used as a salt mine, and now it is protected as a Ramsar site. There are over 99 depressions close to this area that get flooded from time to time, but these saladas are the most important ones.

These lakes are endorheic, meaning they have no natural drainage. They are all made up of mainly gypsum, hence the prominent white rocks nearby. This location is very important for wildlife, with endangered halophyte (fauna and flora that can withstand/live in salty environments) plants such as Microcnemum coralloides, Halopeplis amplexicaulis, Limonium catalaunicum, or Macrochloa tenacissima (commonly known as esparto). These last two are not endangered. Aquatic fauna includes the endemic Candelacypris aragonica (a type of crustacean) or Artemia salina. The lizard Acanthodactylus erithurus, common in Iberian and Northeastern African desertic zones can also be seen there. Birds include the autarda (Otis tarda), the algavarán (Burhinus oedicnemus), or the chorla (Pterocles orientalis). Moreover, when the lakes fill up, more birds can be observed there, such as the churrupetas (Tringa totanus) or the chifleta (Actitis hypoleucos).
