the Thoreau Log.
10 May 1855. Concord, Mass.

Thoreau writes in his journal:

  Canada plum opens petals to-day and leafs. Domestic plum only leafs. Summer yellowbird.

  P.M.—To Beeches.

  Young red maples are generally later to leaf than young sugar maples; hardly began before yesterday; and large white are not so forward as young sugar. Muhlenberg’s willow leafed for or five days. Young yellow birch leaf, say two days. In Callitriche Pool hear a bullfrog belch or dump. Is that a proserpinaea with finely divided leaves in this pool? Hear a tree-toad,—or maybe a woodpecker tapping . . .

(Journal, 7:368-369)
