the Thoreau Log.
27 April 1859. Lynn, Mass.

Thoreau writes in his journal:

  Walk along Swampscott Beach from Red Rock northeast . . .

  Struck inland and passed over the west end of High Rock, through the cemetery, and over Pine Hill, where I heard a strange warbler, methought, a dark-colored, perhaps reddish-headed bird. Thence through East Saugus and Saugus to Cliftondale, I think in the southern part of Saugus . . . Saw at the Aquarium in Bromfield Street apparently brook minnows with the longitudinal dark lines bordered with light . . .
