ABA Six-Letter Bird Codes

• ONE-WORD NAMES - Use the first six letters, or use the entire name if it is less than six letters in length.
  Ex.: Canvasback = CANVAS, Sora = SORA
• TWO-WORD NAMES - Use the first three letters of each word.
  Ex.: Pectoral Sandpiper = PECSAN, Fish Crow = FISCRO
• THREE-WORD NAMES - Use the first two letters of each word.
  Ex.: Great Gray Owl = GRGROW, Broad-tailed Hummingbird = BRTAHU
• FOUR-WORD NAMES - Use the first letter of each of the first two words and the first two letters of each of the last two words.
  Ex. Black-and-white Warbler = BAWHWA, Black-crowned Night-Heron = BCNIHE

Because nine instances of duplicate abbreviations result when the above rules are applied to the 969 species names in the American Birding Association (ABA) Checklist for the Birds of North America, special-case abbreviations are necessary for the 18 species listed below:

SPECIAL CASE ABBREVIATIONS

Barn Owl BARNOW	Leach's Storm-Petrel LEACSP	Barred Owl BARROW	Least Storm-Petrel LEASSP
Blackburnian Warbler BLBUWA	Palm Warbler PALMWA	Blackpoll Warbler BLPOWA	Pallas's Warbler PALLWA
Black-throated Gray Warbler BTGYWA	Wilson's Warbler WILSWA	Black-throated Green Warbler BTGNWA	Willow Warbler WILLWA
Common Redpoll COREDP	Yellow-breasted Bunting YBREBU	Common Redshank COREDS	Yellow-browed Bunting YBROBU
Green-breasted Mango GNBRMA	Gray-breasted Martin GYBRMA

Note that in each case of duplicate codes the duplicate code is used for neither of the special-case species. For example, BAROWL is used for neither Barn Owl nor Barred Owl. This lessens confusion and decreases errors.

The ABA checklist below has 969 species and is up to date through November 2010. The species names and ordering agree with the AOU Check-list 7th Edition, 51st Supplement.
