What reading level is The Feathered Tribes of the British Islands volume 2 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Their bills are very long and very powerful ; and though they have not the deadly character of the bills of some land birds, as simply lifting out of the water is death to their prey, they are perfect models of prehensile instruments. In some, the bill is straight, sharp at the point, and serrated in FISHING BIRDS. 361 the margins ; and in others, it is plain in the edges and strongly hooked at the tip. In both, it thus has one of the characters of the bill of the diving mergansers ; but the ab...- sence of the other indicates that, when the bill is used, it must be thrust home with more power than any bird can give to its bill immersed in water, and having the resistance of that to overcome. Of the two, the straight bill may be considered as the more dashing instrument, the one which is O ' sent down from the greatest height, and for the capture of the largest prey.
The feet are, however, perhaps, the most characteristic organs, and they answer many purposes, and, among these, one which no other of the variedly formed feet of birds appears to be expressly formed for answering.
