Has anyone else noted a lack of Hermit Thrushes during this fall migration? I walk/bird 5-6 times per week in central MN, and have only noted two - dramatically lower than normal. Your observations? Al Schirmacher Princeton, MN Mille Lacs Sherburne Counties

[mou] Birder's shorthand: Question

To find a complete list of the correct 4-character alpha codes for bird species' names, go to the Bird Banding Lab's web site. This site has links to the list sorted by alpha code and sorted by common name. It also has a link to the list sorted by species number (AOU number), but this is of

[mou] Bird Banding Lab Species Codes

At the risk of further beating a dead horse, here are the rules used by the U.S. Geological Survey's Bird Banding Laboratory (BBL) for constructing 4-character species codes (alpha codes) from the common names of North American birds. After unsuccessfully searching the BBL web site, I

Here is the web page for the USGS Patuxent Banding Codes. It's where I learned and at l;east used to be the definitive ones. http://www.pwrc.usgs.gov/bbl/MANUAL/aspeclst.htm Doug Chapman Sioux Falls, SD On Oct 22, 2008, at 9:11 PM, Refsnider wrote: At the risk of further beating a dead
