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.

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.
