Yes, the more specialized the field of endeavor, the more specific can or must be the description. Joe From: "Doug Herr" <telyt@earthlink.net> > The four-letter code for bird species can be the US Fish & Wildlife Service's codes used when banding birds. The last two letter of the code are the first two letters of the last part of the species name, and the first two letters are derived from the first part of the species name. A few examples: > > Snowy Egret = SNEG > Mountain Chickadee = MOCH > Painted Bunting = PABU > Tufted Titmouse = TUTI > Purple Finch = PUFI > Black-eared Bushtit = BEBU
