To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Out of thirty-eight of these birds taken about streams and mill-ponds, thirty-six contained nothing but fish remains. Kingfishers can be successfully captured in traps fastened at the top of stakes driven in the bank about trout-ponds or along trout-streams. The stake or pole should be from ten to fifteen feet long. If the top of the stake is not sufficiently large to support the steel trap, nail a small block of wood on the end of the pole. The trap is set, but not baited. When the trap is set..., the little plate that springs the trap when disturbed is the highest point of the trap. The trap must be se- curely fastened to the stake by a cord, small wire, or chain. The birds on visiting the ponds or streams will invariably fly to one of these stakes, light on the high- est point and be captured. I have found a small, round steel trap (one without the shank or tail-piece) to be best for this work. One of these traps captured twenty-five kingfishers at a trout-preserve in Cattarau- gus County, Of course, the pole and trap should be set up near a fishing-ground, where the bird may think it is a splendid spot for observation.
