[Tagging] Tag for Cornices?

[brad]

I think they definitely should not be tagged as cliff. Personally, I 
don't think they should be tagged, but maybe I could be convinced.    
They are seasonal, and depending on the year they may exist or not, or 
be in a different place.     They may be consistent in BC, but that 
isn't true worldwide.
