What reading level is Bird Life Glimpses book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The best human equivalent for the joy which a bird must feel in building its nest, is, I think, that of a great artist or sculptor, whose soul is entirely absorbed in his work. Those who pity the toils of such men in producing their masterpieces may, with equal propriety, pity the bird ; but here, too, the latter has the advantage, for not even the sway of genius can be so overmastering as that of a genuine in- stinct, the strength of which we must estimate by those few primary ones we call the...m passions which are left in ourselves.
It is this mighty joy in the breast of the little tit, which, by the help of natural selection, has pro- duced, as I believe, his wonderful little nest, and if we watch him building we may get a hint as to how the charming little round door that gives admission to it, has come about. He did not contrive it, but by having, always, his one way in and out, and con- tinuing to build, it grew to be there ; for even when the nest is but a shallow cup, open all round, the birds enter and leave it by one uniform way, so that this way must be left, right up to the very last, by which time it has become that neat little aperture, which looks so nicely thought out.
