Ah, of course!
Well, yes, while the incorrect abbreviation DID manage to remind me of the Great Blue Heron I meant to report yesterday, it is also the perfect example of why, if one chooses to use banding codes in a post, 1. one uses the correct code (these are not simply random abbreviations; and there is an app to look them up), and 2. use of the code should always be preceded by the actual written-out name of the bird to avoid any possible confusion.
(We've had long back-and-forths on this list-serve about whether banding codes should be used at all, but I don't think we need to go there right now.)
Thank you!
