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”.
The “Canvas-back Duck” was, apparently unintentionally,
omitted from the bird list, but is referenced several times in the
text.
Two tables, the “Identification Key” and
“Tables of Arrival”, were
reformatted for vertical scrolling.
In the ASCII text file, an * (asterisk) indicates that the
following bird name or number was printed in bold font.
