What reading level is Bombay Ducks An Account of Some of the Every Day Birds And Beasts Found in a Na book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The roller obtains his insect quarry in a very similar way. He takes up his position on the summit of a post, or on a railing, or a telegraph wire, and sits there motion- less, pretending to be asleep. As a matter of fact, he is keeping a very sharp look out. Presently he espies an insect moving on the ground below, whereupon he flies to the ground and returns to his perch with the insect inside him. Both kingfishers and rollers must have marvellous eyesight. A roller will " spot " an insect in... the grass twenty of thirty feet away and fly down and seize it.
The white-breasted kingfisher is, as we have seen, an example of a bird which is undergoing evolution under our very eyes. As generation succeeds generation, this bird goes in less for fishing and more for insect catching, so that now he often lives and flourishes far away from water, feeding almost entirely on insects. Hence his habits approximate very closely to those of the roller. There is, consequently, nothing wildly improbable in the hypothesis that, far back in the dim vista of time, there was no distinction between rollers and kingfishers, that the ancestral roller-kingfisher was a brilliantly coloured bird which picked up a living in a varieiy of ways, sometimes catching insects and at others fish, those that lived near streams naturally devoting them- selves more exclusively to fish catching, and those which dwelt on the plains, far from water, contenting them- selves with hunting insects.
