Transcription Notes:
Re: Spiza [[armena?]] -- have no idea what Vernon was going for here. Can find reference to only one species in genus Spiza -- americana @nounandverber I think it looks like "osmena" but that doesn't seem to help to id the species. Maybe it is Vernon's funny way of writing americana? -@siobhanleachman Melanerpes formaciverus = Melanerpes formicivorus Pyranga ludoviceana = Piranga ludoviciana Habia melanocephila = Habia melanocephala Pachaphlea myrsenites =? Pachyphylla myrsinites Kunzia = Kunzea
