Transcription Notes:
- Character over Paragraphs may be "P" for paragraph. - Tringoides macularius is now commonly known as Actitis macularius: spotted sandpiper - Zonotrichia gambellii is probably Kennicott's reference to Zonotrichia [leucophrys] gambeli: Pacific White-crowned sparrow which is different from Zonotrichia leucophrys: White-crowned sparrow
