UNC?

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)

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)

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)

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

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)
