the Thoreau Log.
12 December 1858. Concord, Mass.

Thoreau writes in his journal:

  P.M.—Up river on ice to Fair Haven Hill.

  Crossing the fields west of our Texas house, I see an immense flock of snow buntings, I think the largest that I ever saw. There must be a thousand or two at least. There is but three inches, at most, of crusted and dry frozen snow, and they are running amid the weeds . . .

(Journal, 11:370-372)
