UPDATE THIS APP
This app has not been updated for 6 years. There have been numerous taxonomic splits, lumps, & renames in that time & this app is woefully behind the times. If it was regularly updated, I would give it 5 stars. As it is right now, it’s a 3.CalBirdGuy
Love this app!
Perfect--just what I needed to find these codes. I refer to it often.CNS515
Terrific app, needs taxonomic update
I rely on this app (ver. 2.2) as the quickest way to search for band codes and proper scientific names but it is out-of-date. It could benefit from adding new US birds (accepted vagrants) and a taxonomy update, reflecting splits:
- Western Scrub-Jay to California and Woodhouse’s in 2016;
- Clapper Rail to Clapper and Ridgway’s in 2014;
- genus split for the North American cormorants in 2021.
- et al.Show lessAutreVie
It’s the conflicts I want to know
CEWA was my first. More recently NOSH surprised me. So many wrens it was bound to happen, so we skip CAWR. It takes time ( maybe many years) to encounter them.
So it would be nice if the app displayed species in conflict when you enter a guess that’s not a legitimate code.birdrr
Functional
No bells and whistles. Just exactly what you need to confirm a banding code.VZPIPL
Never updated
Names and codes need to be updated regularly. These are not, so it’s useless.Girl&GordonSetter
Easy Banding codes / 4 letter codes
Next time you want to make sure you’re not crazy, that there isn’t anything normally called a YHBB or a CEWA, you can check here instantly. One thing well.-CHE-
Pleasantly surprised
There really is an app for everything..MikeyB9006
Please update...
Great app, please update for larger screen.FOWLR
Does the job without much fuss
Especially good for people who make up codes when posting their sightings. Using codes is controversial, but if you are going to do it you should use the correct code. Not all of them are obvious because of duplications.avocet32
