To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
As far as I can learn, it seems to be the link that binds the carrion-eating vulture to the live- flesh-eating eagle. As is well known, the eagle always prefers to kill its own food. The condor, on the other hand, though able to kill, prefers to find its meat fresh and sweet, but already Digitized by Google 166 The Wonders of the Colorado Desert slain, while, on the other hand, the vulture is better satisfied with carrion than sweet meat. In ascending, the condor has a spiral-like flight, thoug...h it sometimes gorges itself to such an extent that it cannot fly. Rais- ing its wings it runs in a ludicrous manner, but cannot rise, and finally, with an air of resignation, it hops to the nearest rock or fence-post, and there remains until the effect of its feast has dis- appeared. In appearance the condor is not unlike the vulture, though its feathers are of a uniform brown-black color. The head, down to the root of the beak, is covered with a beautiful lemon-colored loose skin, which sometimes deepens almost to orange.
