To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Warren, West Chester, Pennsylvania, writes that a wing-tipped Cormorant that he pursued used its wings under water in its efforts to escape. Mr. J. H. Fleming, Toronto, Ontario, reports a Common Cormorant, in a tank at the London Zoological Gardens, as using its wings under water. He has seen the same species wild in the Scilly Islands under such conditions that he made certain that the wings were used. From memory he says that 29 only the fore part of the wing was used in quick strokes, while ...the feet were used for steering as well as for propulsion. Dr. A. K. Fisher of the Biological Survey writes that on several occasions, while standing high above the water, he has seen cormorants flying under water; the wings were fairly well spread, but he could not see the feet. Mr. G. Dallas Hanna, San Francisco, California, writes that, in the years between 1913 and 1920, he has observed Red- faced Cormorants about the Pribilof Islands, Alaska, using their wings. He watched them many times from sail boats and motor boats.
