Corrected Species Names for the Ordway Birds

Description

This data frame lists all the species name that appear in 'OrdwayBirds'. In many cases, the species name was mis-spelled in the original. As a result, many birds are listed as separate species even though, in reality, they all belong to the same species. For each potentially mis-spelled species name, this table gives a standardized name.
