What reading level is Bird Life And Bird Lore book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
"I have heard," he said, "from my boy in your Form, that you are very fond of natural history; would you care to make a long journey to visit a great place for wild fowl near here ? There are several sorts of duck to be found, and there are, sometimes, a pair or two of great crested grebes, besides other birds." It was a tempting offer. I had always been particularly fond of the wild duck and his kindred ; and I had tried, with more or less success, for some years past, to domesticate them in t...wo small ponds, in my MS RABBITB 268 gfarden at Harrow. Here was a chance of seeing them, at last, in their native haunts, and that, too, at the very "height of the season." On the other hand, the place was at least a hundred miles away, and a hundred miles seemed a long way to go for a bird's nest I should have eight hours of travelling and only about four of bird's-nesting. However, I made up my mind that it was worth while; and after reaching the end of our railway journey, we had still a drive of six miles to the ''happy hunting-ground." Our road lay, at first, through a sandy waste, capable of Supporting nothing but rabbits, and peopled with nothing but them ; and very hard put to it must even rabbits have been for a bare subsistence, till the warm weather and the delicious rains of the preceding few days gave fresh life to the grass, which we could almost see growing greener and longer as we passed by.
