What reading level is A Year in the Fields; Selections From the Writings of John Burroughs book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The chewink is a shy bird also, but not stealthy. It is very inquisitive, and sets up a great scratching among the leaves, appar- 74 APRIL ently to attract your attention. The male is perhaps the most conspicuously marked of all the ground-birds except the bobolink, being black above, bay on the sides, and white beneath. The bay is in compliment to the leaves he is forever scratching among, — they have rustled against his breast and sides so long that these parts have taken their color ; but wh...ence come the white and black ? The bird seems to be aware that his color betrays him, for there are few birds in the woods so careful about keeping themselves screened from view. When in song, its favorite perch is the top of some high bush near to cover. On being dis- turbed at such times, it pitches down into the brush and is instantly lost to view.
This is the bird that Thomas Jefferson wrote to Wilson about, greatly exciting the latter' s curiosity. Wilson was just then upon the threshold of his career as an orni- thologist, and had made a drawing of the Canada jay, which he sent to the President.
