To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It arrives ordinarily during the first week of May, and at first confines its foraging to high, open woodlands, where among branches, both high and low, it gleans a ready subsistence. Later in the season, during the second week after its arrival, it is an occasional denizen of cultivated fields and gardens, where its presence is clearly indicated by its loud and peculiar song. Although more suspicious than the Red-eyed Vireo, it cannot be justly accused of undue shyness. Besides the above situa...tions, it is a not uncom- mon occupant of wild, open grounds on the borders of woods, where there is a preponderance of thickets of Smilax, briers, and wild vines, in which it commonly delights to suspend its beauti- ful pensile nest. During our perambulations \fe have often di- verted ourselves by imitating the notes of this Vireo, with a view of eliciting a song so as to deter- mine its whereabouts, in order to witness its eccen- tric movements. On all such occasions the bird would manifest intense wonderment, and gradually approach the place whence the sound emanated, and when apprised of its source by the discovery of the author, as quickly retreat to the adjoining bushes as it came* This Vireo is one of the most conspicuous of our songsters.
