Transcriber's notes to the Electronic Edition

--Spelling, capitalization, and punctuation of bird names was made consistent (_e.g._, "Redhead" _vs._ "Red-head" _vs._ "Redheaded"). All spelling changes were justified by usage elsewhere in the text. Unambiguous abbreviated names ("American Sparrow Hawk" _vs._ "Sparrow Hawk") were not changed.

--Note that the "Yellow Warbler" is also once called "Summer Warbler".
