Migration on Radar!
This animated GIF is from a series of
Milwaukee Nexrad (radar) images from the night of May 19-20, 2001
representing 48 images from about 8 p.m. to 8 a.m. It was prepared
and the notes on the page were written
by John Idzikowski.
4 Character Bird Code Tables
Each bird species has a 4-character code that can be used as a shorthand abbreviation and is often used in scientific studies. Generally the code is the first two letters of the first two words of the bird's common North American name. Two examples are:
| SPEC |
AOU |
Species |
Scientific Name |
| NOCA |
5930 |
Northern Cardinal |
Cardinalis cardinalis |
| BCCH |
7350 |
Black-capped Chickadee |
Poecile atricapillus |
The table is provided in three versions. I've been told by the USGS Bird Banding Laboratory (BBL) that this information is in the public domain, and that some of the scientific names are not up to date. (Which are wrong I do not know). In your web browser right click on the hyperlinks below and then choose "Save Target As" to specify where to store the file on your computer.
- Excel 97,
- text file with tabs separating the columns, and
- CSV format, which can be loaded into the database or spreadsheet of your choice

Interesting Birds In Wisconsin
| Since 1996 I've been studying bird banding at Riveredge Nature Center in Newburg, Wisconsin. I own www.sherkow.com
for my computer consulting business. I've been able to quickly put these pictures online so viewing them is easier. Also rather than emailing SPEC code tables to people they can now download them at their leisure.
