the Thoreau Log.
16 July 1854. Concord, Mass.

Thoreau writes in his journal:

  A thief fog began last night and lasts till late this morning; first of the kind, methinks.

  P.M.—Via railroad and pond to Saw Mill Brook. Many yellow butterflies and red on clover and yarrow. Is it the yellow-winged or Savannah sparrow with yellow alternating with dark streaks on throat, as well as yellow over eye, reddish flesh-colored legs, and two light bars on wings? . . . Woodcock by side of Walden in woods . . .

(Journal, 6:396-397)
