the Thoreau Log.
23 March 1859. Concord, Mass.

Thoreau writes in his journal:

  P.M.—Walk to Cardinal Shore and sail to Well Meadow and Lee’s Cliff . . .

  As we sail upward toward the pond, we scare up two or three golden-eyes, or whistlers, showing their large black heads and black backs, and afterward I watch one swimming not far before us and see the white, spot, amid the black, on the side of his head . . .

(Journal, 12:71-78)
