Transcription Notes:
Scardafula inca = Vernon probably means Scardafella inca Mesina quail = Vernon may mean Massena partidge? "toard self" probably means "toward self" - like a hoe--Thomasc Checked species names. Myarchus cenerescens = Myiarchus cinerascens -@meg_shuler "no breast band" although it looks like "briest" the dot above the i is a stain and its actually breast. Also made edited to words in [[?]] but still not 100% sure so left them in [[?]] -@siobhanleachman
