Re: [cobirds] 4-letter bird codes

Thanks for the link, Scott. I know that will be helpful. I am learning more of the 4 letter abbreviations but I think it's appropriate for the person posting to state the bird's name completely once in the posting. There are a lot of us that get tons of emails and are just trying to wade throug
