What reading level is Our Shorebirds And Their Future book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It seems incredible that any bird can be capable of such a feat, yet thousands make this trip back and forth every spring and fall; and there can not be the slightest break in the flight, because between Alaska and Hawaii there is not so much as a single square foot of solid substance on which the birds can fold their wings and alight. How long a time is occupied in such trips is not now known, and may never be learned. Most migratory birds, in crossing large areas of water, start soon after su...ndown and reach their destination before morning. But the Pacific golden plover flies the whole day as well as the whole night, and as it probably does not exceed a speed of 50 miles an hour, the single flight from Alaska to Hawaii consumes nearly twice 24 hours. How superior the bird's mechanism to the best aeroplane yet made ! These feathered aeronauts remain in the air several times as long as the longest endurance test of the most modern aeroplane, and there is much the same difference in the efficiency of the -two machines.
