What reading level is A Year With the Birds book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The nest is always placed on the ground, in a bunch of reeds or tussock of grass or clump of little bushes. It is a flimsy structure made of dry grasses or reed-stalks broken in pieces and matted together, but not inter- twined. Sometimes it is barely thick enough to keep the eggs from the wet.
The Kail, though not formed like a natatorial bird, swims very well for short distances. Dr. Coues has often seen it take to the water from choice, without necessity, and noticed that it swam buoyantly a...nd with ease, like a coot. But the bird is a poor flyer, and it is surprising, therefore, that some of the family perform such extensive migrations. The Kails, in fact, are not distin- guished either as flyers or swimmers. But as walkers they are unsurpassed ; and have the power of making a remarkable compression of their body, that enables them to pass through close-set reeds. The bird indeed, when rapidly and slyly stealing through the brush, becomes literally as " thin as a rail." Kails are among the most harmless and inoflFensive of birds.
