Index of Subjects --_000_BY2PR18MB03421C7B70239A756D5F40F5E2AA0BY2PR18MB0342namp_ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable One last comment; perhaps two. I've been reminded of one more cause of ambiguity in these codes, namely th= e propensity for name changes in bird species. The list I gave was the orig= inal 1978 version of conflicting codes. Someone reminded me that Yellow War= bler no longer collides with Yellow Wagtail, because the latter is now call= ed Eastern Yellow Wagtail, and yellow Warbler has reverted back to followin= g the rule as YEWA. The correspondent mentioned he liked the old "why-war" = (YWAR) code better though. Second point: the discussion on Herring Gull is illustrative of the possibi= lities for confusion. As Herring Gull and Heerman's Gull are colliders, the= y were given HERG and HEEG respectively as codes.
