the Thoreau Log.
19 June 1859. Concord, Mass.

Thoreau writes in his journal:

  P.M.—To Heywood Meadow and Well Meadow.

  A flying squirrel’s nest and young on Emerson’s hatchet path, south of Walden, on hilltop, in a covered hollow in a small old stump at base of a young oak, covered with fallen leaves and a portion of the stump; nest apparently of dry grass. Saw three young run out after the mother and up a slender oak . . .

(Journal, 12:207-208)
