To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Thus the quail which nests on the ground lays from eight to fourteen eggs for each setting. The almost universally hunted hares are very prolific. But the band-tailed 176 DENIZENS OF THE DESERT pigeons, which build their nests high and roost in the trees, lay but one egg. The phainopeplas which remain throughout the year on the desert breed much earlier than those which nest nearer the coast. In such locations as Banning and Beaumont, California, which are close to the desert, and yet high enou...gh to have a later season, the desert-reared young are often found sporting among the trees when the adults which have come to the higher zones to nest are just beginning to incubate their eggs. The male phainopepla is a very helpful mate, always taking a very conspicuous part in con- structing the nest and rearing the young; in- deed, he often does the major part of the work, the female only passively showing her interest by sitting on some twig close by and looking on approvingly. Instances are recorded in which the male, having lost his mate through some mishap, took entire charge of the nest- lings and brought them up until they were able to care for themselves.
