I always find myself just adding to Perryman's answers, but....
Full Bird is a Colonel. The emblem Colonels wear is an eagle.
A Lt Colonel (one rank below Colonel) is referred to as a Light Bird.
However, (at least in the Marine Corps), it is acceptable to address a LtCol as "Colonel" when addressing him verbally. Therefore necessitating a differentiation between a Light Bird and a Full Bird.
