Norman,
Cool. Coded names may be the future. It certainly is a short hand for bird names. I could guess right on a number of codes. Others required me to try to find the names. It was a fun puzzle.
May I suggest that you take the time to provide the common names next to your coded names so many of us do not have to spend the time doing the look up. Maybe in time we all will recognize your coded names. Please provide the look up table you use for coding at a minimum.

I did not find the look up for
TRSW
HETH
GRCAT
CONI
On the websites:

or

I did not find the look up for
GRCAT
CONI
On the website:

I could not find GRCAT. I am assuming it is a gray catbird.
The USGS website was the best website for look up in my opinion. Maybe there is a better one for look up.
Thank you.

--Hi folks,
I had my first singing Lincoln's sparrow in my yard Monday evening...great sound! Later that evening I had an ovenbird giving it's jumbled flight song over the yard.
Sunday evening I heard a FOY nighthawk vocalize over the hayfields along Church Road in Sidney....a welcome sound.
I heard or saw the following birds between 7:00 PM and 8:00 PM at four stops along Church Road. Song activity was very slow until about 6:40 so the total bird count was low. Most species were along hedge rows and adjacent woods.
CONI 1
EAME 4
BOBO 10
BRTH 1
GRCAT 1 (plus one near Rt. 104)
SASP 10
SOSP 3
