To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Others sheered off at the last mo- ment, and shot by with arrow-like swiftness, while more rarely one would stop abruptly, and poising a few feet from the glass, inspect the lighted space within. Often, for a minute or more, not a bird would strike. Then, as if seized by a panic, they would come against the glass so rapidly and in such numbers that the sound of their blows resem- bled the pattering of hail. Many struck the tin roof above the light, others the iron railing which enclosed the pla...t- form, while others pelted me on the back, arms, and legs, and one actually became hopelessly entangled in my beard. Why the birds should select the night for their migrations would seem difficult to understand, es- pecially as if taking land-marks as their guide they could not see them as well as during the day. But during the daytime they must feed, and the presence of human enemies may prevent their pas- sage in large conspicuous bodies; so that, as a rule, the onward march is made after nightfall.
