What reading level is Bird Portraits book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Kingbird has a patch of red concealed under the black feathers of his crown ; when he i 2 Bird Portraits is angry or excited, these red feathers blaze out. They are very rarely seen by men, but I imagine the Crows see them oftener than they like. Apple trees in old orchards are favorite nesting places of the Kingbird, and no pains are taken to conceal the nest. It is com- posed of twigs loosely laid together, and often festooned with white strings or the dry, woolly heads of the mouse-ear e...verlasting. The inside of the nest is neatly lined with feathers, horsehair, or roots, and contains from three to five white eggs spotted with brown. The Kingbird is here from the first of May to the first of September, but like all strictly insectivorous birds, it must spend the winter far to the southward. The bird's only notes are the shrill cries, kipper, kipper, given singly or quickly repeated. In spring the birds often mount to a considerable height, uttering this cry continually, and apparently attempting, by this exhibition, to express the emotion common to all creatures at this period of the year.
