To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The field sparrow's nest is usually on the ground; it is built of coarse grasses, rootlets, and bits of weed stalks. The eggs (from three to four) are white marked with red-brown specks. A really tame bird, and one which is a trifle troublesome about a cottage in the woods, is the Phcebe, sometimes called pewit or pewee {Sayornis Phoebe). This little creature sometimes prefers to build her nest under the eaves of my piazza or wood- shed, and there is much ado to protect the young from the enemy..., a pet Manx cat. But one fine morn- ing Mr. Manx succeeded in passing an extemporized barricade and devoured the whole family — not a small matter, as Mrs. Phoebe usually raises five little ones. The Phoabe generally builds her nest under the span of some bridge, using mud, sticks, hairs, bits of rag, or, in fact, anything convenient, no matter what its nature ; in the nest we will probably find five white eggs sparingly dotted on the larger ends with rusty-red. I have drawn with the phoebe that pic- turesq[ue bridge crossing the Clinton Piver, PontLac, Mich.
