Thoreau writes in his journal:
Young toads not half an inch long at Walden shore. The smooth sumach resounds with the hum of bees, wasps, etc., at Water-target Pond . . . A duck at Goose Pond . . . (Journal, 5:317).
Thoreau writes in his journal on 23 July:
The young pouts were two and a half inches long in Flint’s Pond the 17th (Journal, 5:325).
