To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
"When the shells and coral are employed, they are often placed as an inner lining to the nest and the egg is deposited directly upon them. The nest itself is a quite variable structure, and usually loosely put together. It is very shal- low, and this is rather singular, since the wind often blows the egg or the young to the ground.
The nests remaining from year to year are utilized by the birds at succes- sive nesting periods; whether or not by the same pair can not with certainty be answered a...t present. On account of this utilization of the old nest from BIRD ROOKERIES OF TORTUGAS BARTSCH. 485 year to year, some of the oldest nests have grown to enormous size, due to the addition of new materials at each successive season.
Both birds work, bringing sticks, seaweed, shells, and coral. Both birds shape the nest clumsily by pecking and pulling at the sticks. They never weave the sticks so as to form a compact and durable nest. The stick is dropped on the rim, then drawn into position. Frequently, first one bird, then the other, sits in the nest and shapes it.
