What reading level is Birds in Flight book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It would be foreign to the purpose of this book to pursue this theme at length. Let it suffice to, say that while the " Sexual Selection " theory still holds good, it has, so to speak, changed its complexion. And this largely owing to the accumulation of new facts. For the most important of these we are indebted to the singularly exact and laborious observations analysed, clarified, and inteipreted with remark- able insight and sagacity of Mr. H. Eliot Howard, one of the keenest ornithologists ...of our time. He has set forth his case, and interpreted his facts with masterly skiU, and there seems no escape from his conclusions. Briefly, he has shown that birds of quite sober coloration hke the warblers, which formed the basis of his investigations, engage in displays quite as remarkable, and of precisely the same character as in birds of gaily colomred plumage. From this it is dear that this wing-play is not prompted by a more or less con- scious desire to display conspicuously coloured patches of colour, for of colour there is none save that of the general hue of varjTing shades of brown, as in the case of the grasshopper warbler, for example.
