What reading level is Useful Birds And Their Protection book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I once saw a Chickadee attempting to hold a monster caterpillar, which proved too strong for it. The great worm writhed out of the confining grasp and fell to the ground, but the little bird followed, caught it, whipped it over a twig, and, swinging underneath, caught each end of the caterpillar with a foot, and so held it fast over the twig by superior weight, and proceeded, while hanging back downward, to dis- sect its prey. This is one of the most skillful acrobatic feats that a bird can per...form, although I have seen a Chickadee drop over backward from a branch, in pursuit of an insect, catch it, and, turning an almost complete somersault in the air, strike right side up again on the leaning trunk of the tree. Indeed, the complete somersault is an every-day ac- complishment of this gifted little fowl, and it often swings completely round a branch, like a human acrobat taking the "giant swing. " Although the Chickadee ordinarily is no flycatcher, it can easily follow and catch in the air any insect that drops from its clutch.
