Avery Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 (edited) Isn't it BTGW? Nevermind, that's the Gray one Edited October 9, 2020 by Avery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flightman Posted October 9, 2020 Author Share Posted October 9, 2020 Thanks for the confirmation. Is it an adult female? Regarding the code, carolinabirdclub.org explains, "The “last letter” approach is also used in some four-word names. For example, Black-throated Green Warbler is BTNW and Black-throated Gray Warbler is BTYW, using the last letter of the distinguishing word." 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
