RE: [nysbirds-l] No BBCOs (Bird Banding COdes)

I would still prefer English, so I readily understand what people are talking about. I can understand typing from the field and wanting to keep it short. So, for example, something like Avocet can work just fine without American in front of it. Another thing. Isn't there a rule about signing

[nysbirds-l] No BBCOs

I don't want to complain, but the listserve rules require using bird names rather than 4-letter banding codes. I understand this rule isn't scrupulously followed, but if you're so inclined pls. get the codes right. Prairie warbler is PRAW, not PAWR, and Louisiana Waterthrush is LOWA, not LOWT.

RE: [nysbirds-l] LOWT at Fuchs Pond

Louisiana Waterthrush is a great bird for Suffolk County! I believe Pat Lindsay found this bird early this morning, but missed the PROW, which didn't perk up until around 10:00. I saw the latter in the early afternoon, but missed the LOWA. In 18 years of birding Long Island, I've only seen two
