What reading level is Food of the Woodpeckers of the United States book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Vegetable food. — Fruit was eaten to the extent of 5.85 per cent of the whole food. Most of it is of useless wild varieties. Ten species were identified by their seeds, of which the Rubus fruits, i. e., rasp- berries or blackberries, might have been cultivated, but probably were not. They were found in only 1 stomach. A number of stomachs contained fruit pulp, which could not be further identified and may have been cultivated. Corn was found in 20 stomachs, most of it taken in the winter and ea...riy spring months, so th$.t it was waste grain, except that found in 2 stomachs in August ^nd September, which was probably in the milk. A few other stomachs held what was thought to be grain of some kind, but was too finely ground for further identification. Grain of all kinds aggregates 1.66 per cent.
The poison Rhuses (Rhus radicans, R. vemix, R. diversilobaj and R. toxicodendron) seem to afford a favorite winter food for many birds. While the seeds themselves are so thoroughly protected by a hard, homy coating that they are seldom broken in the stomachs, they are overlaid by a white waxy pulp, which easily comes off, and is probably very nutritious.
