What reading level is Nature's Invitation; Notes of a Bird-Gazer North And South book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Even now, in the dead of winter, with the number of species greatly reduced, the novelties seen in one walk are so many that the man who uses no gun, and so can take no specimens home with him for inspection, is often put to his trumps when he comes to run over his day's notes. Though he may have done his best, he is certain to have overlooked or forgotten some detail which, with the book before him, turns out to be all impor- tant. What a pity he did not note with more exactness the proportion... of white on the tail feathers, or the position of a certain black spot on the side of the head ! He must go out again, and — if he is fortunate enough to find the bird — secure a stricter and more intelligent obser- vation. It is plaguing fun, but it is fun, never- theless, and good practice, besides ; and withal, it leaves work for to-morrow.
A BIRD-GAZER'S PUZZLES 177 It must be admitted, moreover, if the trutli is to be told, — and it is sometimes better to tell it, — that no amount of observation in the field will be likely, in a month or two, at any rate, to settle all the nice questions that confront the stu- dent in a new region in these latter days ; espe- cially if the region happens to be, like this about San Antonio, one in which Eastern and Western forms of the same species are to be found over- lapping each other.
