Most of the names I've seen so far seem familiar.  Lorien and I have a few more though,
like:

BBB : Boring Brown Bird - any as yet unidentified sparrow, fall warbler, etc.  Of
			course as soon as it's identified it loses the "boring", unless
			it really is :-)
Chewink : rufous sided towhee - from one of their noises.
Leaf Bird : those small clusters of dead leaves that stay in the top of a tree well
			into winter.  (also garbage bird, mooring post bird, etc.)

John.
