Scott, I have seen this on the Patuxent Wildlife Research Center page. I used their list to update some of the codes that I have. If you want the textfile that I use, I can send you that. I can't guarantee that it is error free or completely up to date though. I am not sure all the codes or there and they certainly are not in any taxonomic order that I am aware of but you could try this link here. http://www.pwrc.usgs.gov/bbl/manual/bandsize.htm Again, I would be happy to send the list that I have if you (or anyone else interested) finds this one a bit overwhelming. Their list includes codes for birds in areas outside the ABA NA region. Mine is for the ABA area. If anything, my list may not have all of the ABA area codes (but it is certainly more manageable and it works well for MD).
