the Thoreau Log.
20 February 1860. Concord, Mass.

Thoreau writes in his journal:

  P.M.—I see directly in front [of] the Depot Lee [?] house, on the only piece of bare ground I see hereabouts, a large flock of lesser redpolls feeding . . .

  J. Farmer tells me that his grandfather once, when moving some rocks in the winter, found a striped squirrel frozen stiff. He put him in his pocket, and when he got home laid him on the hearth, and after a while he was surprised to see him running about the room as lively as ever he was . . .

(Journal, 13:156-157)
