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

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.

Linda & I visited Three Lakes Nature Center (in Henrico Co) on Saturday - the 
one that was featured in the Saturday TD - and saw DC Cormorants (DCCO) and 
Canada Geese (CAGO) there. There was one CAGO nesting on an island. Also, 
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.
