Also agreed. Someone could easily mis-interpret one's being an EBSO (efficient
birding system observer) as being an EBSO (elitist birding show-off) instead.
Thanks for the vocabulary addition, Jim!

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

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.
