As a fairly new birder (1 year) I appreciate Greg's comments;  sometimes I
can figure out the abbreviations, sometimes I can't.  Thanks!

Subject: [MDOSPREY] Abbreviations

 

I'm sure this topic has been covered before. I was on a PA site today, and

they prohibit abbreviations. I think its a good rule. Why say YCNH, which

is an easy example, instead of Yellow-crowned Night Heron? Norm has done a

wonderfull job of providing us a great way to communicate. Let's make it

easy! Why should we have to think what species someone is speaking of?

Thinking makes my head hurt! :^) Your thoughts, Norm? Thank you.
