The best code and bird, of course :) HORE is hilarious. <br /><br />Laurence perhaps you should go through every breeding code for North American Birds, and do a part 2 of this. That would be a lot of fun to read. <br /><br />How about WISP. Wilson's Storm-Petrel. The common shearwater that is hard to miss, and is never a wisp. The poorly name banding code.<br /><br />Or SOTE. Sooty Tern. It actually kinda says the bird's name!<br /><br />HUGO. Hudsonian Godwit. <br /><br />LIMP. Limpkin. This bird is so strange it looks like it would LIMP as it walks.<br /><br />NOMO. Northern Mockingbird. Gangster for "No More".<br /><br />WAVI. Warbling Vireo. The warbling vireo's song is all over the place, and is quite, "wavy".<br /><br />SCOR. Scott's Oriole. "SCORE! We just saw a SCOR!"<br /><br />Tommy DeBardelebenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14927348437153499516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791077723521794200.post-4012089949591988982014-05-20T19:20:21.027-07:002014-05-20T19:20:21.027-07:00It sounds risky for pelagic ships to show M*A*S*H....It sounds risky for pelagic ships to show M*A*S*H...people would get barfy so quickly, so I think it must be the mashed potatoes; who doesn't like them?
