All I use is a 47 page PDF (I must sent it to you!). However you don=92t ha=
ve to study it. 90+ % of the codes are logical so all you need to do is use=
it as reference to memorize the exceptions. Just learn the ones for next c=
hecklist=97most follow the pattern of:
--first four letters for one word species such as BOBO for Bobolink
--the first two letters or each word for two worded species such as SOSP f=
or Song Sparrow
-- first letter of the first two words in a three worded species followed b=
y the first two letters in the last word such as BBCU for Black-billed Cuck=
oo
So once you think you know the code, search the code in the PDF to see if y=
ou=92re right. If the code is an exception then you know that is one you ne=
ed to remember. Such as TRES for Tree Swallow. Hint=97Tree, Barn and Bank a=
ll follow a patter of first 3 letters of the first word followed by S for t=
he 4th letter. The first few checklists would take the longest but just don=
=92t try to learn them all at once.
The alpha codes are handy for sharing lists and best of all for entering yo=
ur checklist into eBird. In eBird, type the code into the jump box in the u=
pper right and hit tab when your species pops up. Type in the number of spe=
cies then hit J to jump back to the jump to type in the code for the next s=
pecies. If you want to enter a comment or breeding code hit SPACE after you=
type in the number of species, then hit TAB when you=92re done and J to ju=
mp back to the jump box. These hotkeys do not work in all browsers.

Birding. Like any endeavour it has it's
abbreviations and short hand. I'm interested in finding an alphabetical li=
st of four digit alpha codes for the Birds of Nova Scotia. A 47 page PDF =
file with Beautiful Hummingbird in non alphabetical order isn't practical. =
Any ideas where I can find a concise alphabetical list? I want to sit and=
study the most common 250 species and have them second nature. Chris
