What reading level is Birds Through An Opera Glass book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
YELLOW-BELLIED SAPSUCKER.
IN the spring the yellow-bellied woodpecker is a mercurial Frenchman compared with the sober, self-contained Englishmen, his cousins, the hairy and downy. They contrast as scarlet and gray. Even their dress marks them. The hairy and downy are robed like grave philosophers in black and white, the old fathers merely donning a red cap for dignity. But though the sapsucker has to be content with a mottled black and white coat, besides a red cap, he wears a crimson frontlet..., a bib-shaped piece of crimson satin fastened close under his chin, and bordering this a circlet of black satin, below which, and falling to his feet, is his pale yellow robe.
In April and May, especially during courting, the air is full of his boisterous cries. In the edge of the woods, in the orchard, by the side of the house, the excited birds flicker from tree to tree, chasing each other about. Sometimes two of them march up opposite sides of the same tree, YELLOW-BELLIED SAPSUCKER. 161 with arching necks and rapid, taunting cries of chuck'ah, chuck'ah, chuck' ah, chuck' ah, and then circle around the trunk after each other like a pair of hot-headed suitors quarrelling over their lady-love.
