Transcription Notes:
Checked species, kept Vernon's spelling, anything I'm unsure of is in [[?]]. Have reviewed. -@siobhanleachman Ponchatrain = Vernon possibly means Lake Pontchartrain? Quiscalus macrurus = Quiscalus macrourus Agelais phoenicius = Aeglaius phoeniceus Mermaunteau = Mermentau, Louisiana Taccanita = Tachycineta Bayou Beouf = likely Boeuf Procyne subis = likely Progne subis, purple martin--fits the habitat
