To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
They were nearly as tall as the great blues, but the special feature of their appearance was their coverings of beautiful snowy feathers. These birds were American egrets. Long white plumes growing on their backs and extending far beyond their tails also added to their attractiveness. I like to think of these grace- ful creatures as the queens of that city. Wishing to get a peep into the private life of the heronry, we concealed our boat among the low trees and screened our bodies with long gra...y moss and cypress boughs. Scarcely were we hidden when the herons began to return to their homes. While we were watching, a crow flew up and alighted near a nest containing eggs. After a wicked glance around he thrust his beak into an egg, and, flying with it but a short distance, perched and deliberately began to eat its contents. Finishing his egg the rascal wiped his bill on the limb, looked about for a minute or two, and then came back for another one. The distressed heron whose nest was being plundered, squawked a timid resentment and moved away as the intruder approached.
