I for one think there are far too many abbreviations from various contributors on this list. And your clue below about cicindelaphiles probably did not help many on this list. Also, I do like "lepsters" better than Peter's "lepers". P.S., Just to show that I am not infallible myself, I did notice that in my note on Bernard Forsythe's banded adult barred owl, banded in 1998 and refound in 2007 does NOT add up to an interval eight years; as Tom Lehrer once said (sort of, re new math), has everybody got the answer? My fingers tell me the answer is nine. Bernard tells me that this adult owl has probably been a parent owl in that particular box, near White Rock, for several years -- it's just that Bernard was lucky to discover the band just this Spring.
