To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Last summer our wrens raised three successive broods. I do not think the number exceeded five little birds each_ time. This year the time will not admit of an extra hatch. The wrens usually linger with us till the end of August, but some will stay into September if the weather remains warm. Then they leave us to winter in a milder climate westward or southward, crossing the St. Lawrence or Niagara rivers guided by the same power that led them hither. How little, after all, is our knowledge of t...he ways of these wild creatures that come to us, we only guess from whence. They steal so quietly among us. One day they are seen building their temporary nests in our groves and forests, in our garden bushes and orchards, in the shade trees of our busiest streets, under the eaves of our houses and even of our churches and sacred temples ; a few brief weeks or months, and lo ! they disappear. Silently they came; as silently they depart. Some, indeed, gather together in social bands, but others steal away unseen ; we know not how and when they go till we miss them, to see them no more again till the spring of another year.
