Kirk,
Yes, we too could look it up, but most of us still would not use the 4
letter code when reporting birds in our area. I went up to Lake Junaluska this
AM and the place was dismal. There is far more floating debris from the big
rain then birds. No Gulls, a mix of the expected ducks.

I can look it up. But most people on the Listserve do not use the codes

Sorry for using the alpha codes, it is quicker than having to spell the
common name out.
If you would like I can send out an alpha code sheet with all the common
bird in North America

Saw a fairly large gull hanging out with RBGU. This gull had a dark
thick line on the upper maxilla and lower mandible, garish to brown plumage,
and larger than RBGU. It is not a BOGU, to big.... according to it's range map,
it is possible for it to winter close to this location (wnc).... any thoughts?
Thanks
