What reading level is The Raptorial Birds of Iowa book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Tail with five indistinct dark bars.
Below, everywhere closely barred with slate-gray and white; the feathers showing black shaft-lines.
Immature birds are dusky above, the feathers burly edged; tail with definite dark bars. Below whitish with blackish streaks.
Measurements. Length, 21 to 24 inches; wing, 12 to 14 inches; tail, 10 to 12 inches.
Range. North America. Breeds chiefly north of the United States. In- winter is found as far south as Missouri, Oklahoma and Mexico.
The Goshawk is found... in Iowa during the colder part of the year, reaching us from the north usually about the middle of November. It is closely related to the Cooper's and Sharp-shinned Hawks but is much larger and more powerful than either, and is bolder and more daring in pursuit of its prey.
In Iowa it is apparenty less a bird of the open than either of the above-named species, being found usually in or near timber, though it comes to the farmyard fearlessly in quest of doves and chickens. R. M. Anderson speaks of it as occurring "from November to April, " and says further that it "has been recorded from most sections of the State.
