Hello OhioBirders
I have seen this same basic thread on other listserves over the years. A
common practice seems to use the full name the first time the species is
mentioned in the posting with banding codes for subsequent mentions.
This also serves as a learning opportunity for people not so familiar with
the banding codes.
Sorry for throwing my two cents in from several hundred miles away!

Those 4 letter codes are very annoying. They have a purpose for banders,
but in written in reports they're like a secret code that I feel like I have
to decipher. I certainly have no qualms about people abbreviating bird
names as long as it is apparent what you're talking about with a quick glance.
My 2 cents.
