Don't go calling me a Common Loon but ...

Thats why I included the Common names
AND the codes for some of the tougher ones.  What is tough about SAND ?  

HARD is kind of tough because it doesn't go by the typical two word standard of 
2 letters for each word.

I already promised long ago that I would never post 4 letter codes by 
themselves.  The 4-letter codes are easy output from my database and I once 
posted an entire days outing using only the codes.  I think I can reserve the 
right to post them in addition to the common names.  They may catch on with some 
folks.  Please lets move on.
