[va-richmond-general] Re: Cormorants on lakes

For those of us who are not that savvy, please write out the names or use an 
easily understood shortened name such as "red belly".  I don't even bother to 
read the emails with the "codes".  That may be fine for surveys but not for 
many of us just plain bird lovers.

Yes, but then it needs to be spread out when reporting to others. Write down 
AMROB on your on-site birding list, but write ?American Robin, 11? on a report 
to us. (That ?B? is my code ? hexadecimal for ?11?). And that code for the 
Canada Goose needs to be changed, maybe to CNGS. Otherwise, 
Spanish/English-speaking birders are going to laugh every time they see CAGO. 
Unless you want to make a comment about these birds. Yes, they do mess up parks 
and other land.

I think you guys need to take the course on how to do bird surveys. These are 
standard banding codes. Look up banding codes  - Google it - and you will see 
that it's the coming way to abbreviate birds seen or heard. When surveying one 
does not have time to write down complete bird names.

I agree. I would rather hear about robins than about AMROs. Besides, CAGO means 
?I poop? in Spanish.

ALL

I certainly understand the desire to use the abbreviations for our birds, 
especially when they are fairly obvious DCCO, but I have to tell you I think 
this is a good way to turn people off.

that's a good place to see EABL and CHSP - on an asphalt path from one of the 
lakes to the parking lot. Other than that there were some TUTI and a few RBWP 
and DOWP.
