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
