To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This is a bird which deserves a little notice at our hands on two or tliree grounds. In its plumage it varies more, according to sex or age, than perhaps any other English bii'd in a state of nature. It is kideed subject to almost startling dissimilarity. The peculiar shape and action of the bill is also noteworthy, and the strengtli of the muscles which move the mandibles may be judged of by the powerful effect produced m startiag the scales of the strongest fir-cones. Again, it has been repea...tedly met mth in this country in large numbers ; and not only so, out at such seasons as to render it almost positive, that it must have nested, or be nesting here : nay even females which were ob- tained showed, by the state of their plumage, that they must have been so engaged : and yet until recently, no authentic observation has been recorded of the actual occurrence of its nest and eggs. It is now believed to breed in the very earliest spring or indeed in winter, which may account for the obscurity hiiherto attending its nesting habits.
