Transcription Notes:
Ambrosia:- Have these been checked? Think a #volunpeer has taken out notes. Redone. Have checked names and left original spelling in. For correct spellings see below
Seiurus auricapillus = Seiurus aurocapillus
Geothlnpis formosus = geothlypis Formosa
Volunteer editor - I have gone through this and edited as per instructions as spelling is seen on page, plus adding other items left off. Not looking up correct info as instructions were to "write what is seen".
Ambrosia:- Thanks for that. Instructions emphasise searchability and what Vernon's writing "looks like" isn't necessarily what he actually wrote eg his c's really look like e's, I's look like t's, T's look like Z's etc. Google is your friend when working out what Vernon wrote. Also the [[symbol]] seems to be the strange way he writes ? sometimes.
