I was going to mention that earlier but I didn't start until game 5 so I thought I'd wait a few more days to celebrate 200 games. Having said that.... Happy 200th BRDL, BRDL.

lonestranger Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 (edited) GRRRRR!!!!!! I had used 4 of my guesses and figured out 2 of the letters when the game locked up on me and I had to start over again. Already knowing the second letter of the code and getting a third letter on my second guess the second time around, I had the first three letters of the code in the right place by my 3rd guess. I couldn't figure out the last letter so I used brute force until something fit, but it wasn't the right fit. More brute force on my 5th guess solved the puzzle but I didn't know what it was so I left BRDL to look it up. When I returned to BRDL, the puzzle reloaded AGAIN. Since I hadn't copied my results to share them, I was forced to play the same puzzle a third time. GRRRRR!!!! BRDL 201 ???? Edit- AM I the only one that thinks this is kind of stretching things? What's next, banding codes for unknown birds? After all, those are on the list too. Edited August 12, 2022 by lonestranger 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JP48 Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 This bird doesn't seem to be referenced in iBird. Not the first time this has happened, nor the 2nd, nor the 3rd etc, Most often it's when the bird is some rare off-coast migrant, or a Hawaiian endemic, though. This one, according to Wikipedia, isn't all that rare, in the Southwest and in Mexico. Never heard of it, myself. I don't know where BRDL gets its codes to choose from, but I do have to use the full world list to solve it sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was using a list given by BRDL, but then there have been many birds that the used a different code than the list, or the bird was not one it. This list @lonestranger found seems to have everything they have used so far, but I have only used it for a few days.

Zoroark Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 BRDL 201 ???? ???? ???? ???? ???? ???? Not a fan of this one. Definitely list-assisted. I have seen the species, (spoilers) specifically the canescens sub-species, but I have not seen this sub-species. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
