the Thoreau Log.
21 October 1857. Concord, Mass.

Thoreau writes in his journal:

  First ice that I’ve seen or heard of, a tenth of an inch thick in yard, and the ground is slightly frozen.

  I see many myrtle-birds now about the house this forenoon, on the advent of cooler weather. They keep flying up against the house and the window and fluttering there . . .

(Journal, 10:113-116)
