This list of birds from the University of Michigan collection was probably compiled in November 1858, as mentioned in a letter from Alexander Winchell to Robert Kennicott on November 19, 1858 (RK-614)
I corrected the scientific names, but keeping Winchell's spelling (or misspelling) of them. The following are still misspelled on Winchell's list (either an error on his part, or on the specimen labels that he used to create this list - he was a geologist, not an ornithologist) so I've listed the correct spelling here in case someone is hoping to search this document for particular bird species:
Line 11 "valisneria" is actually spelled vallisneria
Line 15 "cricca" is actually spelled crocca
Line 19 "storpera" is actually spelled strepera
Line 20 "rufitorquus" is actually spelled rufitorques
Line 22 "albiola" is actually spelled albeola
Line 24 "marilla" is actually spelled marila (but often misspelled in the literature)
Line 25 "Harilda" is actually spelled Harelda (often also misspelled as Haralda)
Line 39 "foeda" is actually spelled fedoa
Line 42 "verginica" is actually spelled virginiana
Line 54 "Buonapartii" is actually spelled bonapartii
Line 55 "hirudo" is actually spelled hirundo
Line 57 "brachyotos" is actually spelled brachyotus
