Transcriber’s Notes
Reading edition
Retained publisher information from the printed copy (the electronic edition is in the public domain in the country of publication).
Corrected some obvious typographical errors, and standardized spelling of some bird names, e.g., “Redwing Blackbird” vs. “Red-winged Black-bird”.
Included *** as the A.O.U. number for non-native game birds.
In the text versions only, text in italics is delimited by _underscores_.
