Hi all:

I have been lurking for several months on this list and am curious about 
the four letter abbreviations people often use when posting their 
bird-sightings.  Sometimes there is no spelled out version of the bird's 
name in the post, and I have to rack my brain to come up with the likely 
bird's name.

Since apparently this is a widespread & accepted practice (although I have 
only seen it on this birding list), I am wondering if there is a 
translation list available somewhere that might make it easier when I am 
stumped??

Thanks,

Carole
Sunnyvale
