SC - Ancient Maya Diet

[TG]

So, in checking out the encyclopedia entries that Bear sent, I find that
bitterns are marsh birds, much like the cranes and herons that they seem
to be served with.  So, it looks like the second course is specifically
fowl, first water fowl and then flatland birds (I'm guessing a snit is
grouped in with the partridge and woodcocks for similar reasons, that it
is a bird that has similar habitats and/or hunting methods), and then the
baked capon is mentioned separately.
