UNC?[edit]

What does UNC mean? It is used in the Herons section and is not defined anywhere in the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 112.201.128.86 (talk) 17:22, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent question. It was added in 2013 by an unregistered editor from Denmark who only edited this article. I can't find anything that it might mean. I'll go ahead and take it out and if there's a good reason for it, we can add it back later. Thanks for paying attention and bringing it up. SchreiberBike | ⌨ 19:11, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Further thought. It was added with this edit along with other codes that might be abbreviations for conservation statuses, and might stand for unconcerned or unclassified (just guesses). SchreiberBike | ⌨ 19:15, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

My guess is that they were abundance levels (Uncommon, Fairly Common, Least Common, Common, Rare). Loopy30 (talk) 23:55, 24 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

That's great then. Wouldn't it be better to keep it and even add them to the other lists? I would love to know which species are common and rare. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 112.201.129.73 (talk) 13:25, 27 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
