Transcription Notes:
@siobhanleachman - first pass. I think Quisecalus = Quiscalus
@phil_terry - changed one to Monarda (d is there but not clear)
Checked and found a Monett, Missouri. I think the really messy one is supposed to say Ardea virescens (Green Heron) and I think we can safely just say Quiscalus; it just loooks like messy writing not an extra letter to me. Feel free to change back. -@meg_shuler
