What reading level is Mutton Birds And Other Birds book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If, in fact, perfectly furious birds stooping and swooping at an intruder, ever roared gently as sucking- doves it was these Sea Hawk. 40 MUTTON BIRDS Sea Hen, Skua, and Sea Hawk are other island names for this great gull, the first quite well describing its appearance when seen in attitudes of repose on sand or rock. The last designa- tion is apt, too, for the nature of the bird is predatory and fierce, and, furthermore, at least one of his aerial positions most hawk-like. The excitement of a ...Sea Hawk once aroused is not immediately allayed by the retirement of the intruder. I have bored my way a lengthy process always through the centre belt of bush and nettle to reach the other coast of the island, and yet have seen upon emerging into open ground, the still vexed birds sweeping in long beats to and fro above their grey nestlings crouching in the gale. Thus separated by the island's width I have watched the Sea Hawk poised for long like a Windhover in the air, its fully-extended legs straightened beneath it, as are momentarily a Harrier's when voiding its excrement.
