To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The sides and flanks are brownish, washed with gray. There are two white wing bars, and the outer tail feathers have a white patch near their ends. The female is similar to the male but paler, and immature birds have the upper parts suffused with greenish yellow, the yellow of the lower parts is paler and the throat often grayish white. The nest is built of tufts of the moss and lichens that hang from the limbs of trees, or in bunches of dead leaves and driftwood left in lower branches by some ...passing freshet. The eggs are white, speckled particularly at the larger end with reddish brown. They vary, from three to five in number, and are rather more than three fifths of an inch long, and less than half an inch wide. The Parula has many of the characteristic actions of a Titmouse, and is especially active, now hanging head down from the end of some twig, now fluttering at its extremity, busy always in pursuit of its insect prey. This is the form of Parula Warbler breeding in the region from the District of Columbia southward, on the coast, and in the interior from Southern Illinois southward.
