To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
— Not known to breed in Ohio. Nest, on the ground among brush- wood, rocks, and the like, near water; lined with leaves, mosses, and feathers. Eggs, 6-12, creamy buflf or dull buffy green. Av. size, 2.56 x 1.76 (65. x 44.7). General Range. — Northern portions of the northem hemisphere; south in winter throughout the United States. 622 THE RED-BREASTED MERGANSER. Range in Ohio. — Rare migrant; casual winter resident in southern part of state. SWIMMING is the way of nature and flying a slowly acq...uired art for the Shelldrakes. The adtilts, indeed, are capable of rising quickly and flying with great rapidity at a considerable height, but oftener they patter over the surface of the water to get a running start, and then with outstretched neck and supple wing skim along close to the water, as tho loth to leave its friendly shelter. Many a time have I seen them in the swiftest part of some rushing stream, repeatedly breasting the current with tireless energy for the sake of being swept along some favorite riffle under water, adding thus the momentum of the stream to their own power of locomotion in enabling them to seize quickly unsuspecting trout.
