What reading level is Among the Birds in Northern Shires book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The birds that breed on the heaths, however especially in the English shires seem to be sedentary. Although this Owl unquestionably feeds upon birds, say up to the size of a Missel-thrush, as its diurnal habits appa- rently suggest, there can be no doubt of its great usefulness to man in killing off voles, mice, reptiles, beetles, and such-like destructive pests. We need only point to the extraordinary numbers of this Owl that congregated in Scotland some few years ago during the plague of vole...s, and the way in which they preyed upon them, for an object-lesson of this bird's usefulness to man. In the matter of its nest- ing the Short-eared Owl presents us with another anomaly. Fully in keeping with its love for open country and its partiality for daylight, it nests upon the bare ground, and in this respect differs from all On Heaths and Marshes. 1 25 the other British species. We say "nests", but in reality there is little or no provision made for the eggs, beyond a mere hollow in which a few scraps of withered herbage are strewn.
