What reading level is Signs And Seasons book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I discovered it while in quest of pond-lilies, in a long, deep, level stretch of water in the woods. A large tree had blown over at the edge of the water, and its dense mass of upturned roots, with the black, peaty soil filling the interstices, was like the fragment of a wall several feet high, rising from the edge of the lan- guid current. In a niche in this earthy wall, and visible and accessible only from the water, a phoebe had built her nest and reared her brood. I paddled my boat up and c...ame alongside prepared to take the family aboard. The young, nearly reftdy to fly, were quite undisturbed by my presence, having probably been assured that no danger need be appre- hended from that side. It was not a likely place for minks, or they would not have been so secure.
I noted but one nest of the wood pewee, and that, too, like so many other nests, failed of issue.
It was saddled upon a small dry limb of a plane- tree that stood by the roadside, about forty feet from the ground. Every day for nearly a week, as I passed by, I saw the sitting bird upon the nest Then one morning she was not in her place, and on examination the nest proved to be empty, — robbed, I had no doubt, by the red squirrels, as they were very abundant in its vicinity, and ap- Digitized by Google THE TRAGEDIES OF THE NESTS 79 peared to make a clean sweep of every nest.
