What reading level is Birds book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Most go and come with the seasons ; and of these the 118 THE NIGHTINGALE.
nightingale is the chief. It seldom visits us before the latter end of April, or the beginning of May, and de- parts in August, favouring us with its residence during a limited portion of our summer months. Its localities also are as limited as its stay. In the midland counties it is scarce ; in the northern it is but occasionally heard ; and in the western, namely, Devonshire and Cornwall, it is almost unknown. As is the... case with all the migrating birds of the great tribe of warblers, the males are the first to venture across the Channel, when they disperse over the country, resorting to thick hedges, copses, and plantations, where their song resounds at eve, and where they wait the arrival of their expected mates. The females follow in a few days, though not always, for it sometimes happens that cold winds and unpropitious weather delay their arrival for ten days, or even a fortnight.
Dr. Latham informs us, that, as is usual among the migrating warblers, the male bird " remains on the spot to which it first resorts, attracting the female by its song ; and, if by accident the female is killed, the male, which had become silent, resumes his song, and will continue to sing late in the summer, till he finds an- other mate : in which case they will breed at a later season.
