To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
From the Mississippi river towards the Pacific, it is an abundant summer resident. Dr. Gundlach and others include it among the migrants of Cuba ; Mr. Salvin found it a migra- tory species in Guatemala. As an evidence of its roving character, supposed specimens from the Philippine Islands and from Kamtschatka, are in the Leyden Museum. This is highly probable, as birds could have readily reached the latter place, by way of north-western America. In Eastern Pennsylvania this species is tolerably... abundant in the marshes along the Delaware River. Occasionally, individuals stray inward for a distance of several miles, and are constant visitors at the/ larger marshes, especially in secluded situations, where they can ply their gastronomic business without fear of human intrusion or interference. When surprised, however, they manifest but little fear, and unlike many of the higher species, retire to a short distance, when they alight either upon an exposed tree-branch, or upon a tussock of grasses or sedges.
