[nysbirds-l] PEFA Bird Code App
Related to Andrew’s post below about his TRKI and subsequent objections to the use of banding codes in alerts, the PEFA Bird Code App provides a simple way to type in the code and definitively know what bird the post refers to. It’s in the Apple app store, I don’t know if it’s available for Android phones. Apologies in advance for the non-alert nature of this post but felt that this forum and moment was the best way to get the word out to eliminate future issues.

My apologies to those of you who were put off by my use of the banding code for Tropical Kingbird the other day. I am often doing the best that I can in cross posting to various groups and the use of banding code is often used by me to get a message out ASAP when in the field. I’ll do my best to be mindful when posting to the list serves and try not to forget to spell out the full name.
