the Thoreau Log.
28 April 1858. Concord, Mass.

Thoreau writes in his journal:

  Blustering northwest wind and wintry aspect.

  A.M.—Down river to look at willows . . .

  I see the fish hawk again [two or three indecipherable words] Island. As it flies low, directly over my head I see that its body is white beneath, and the white on the forward side ofVthe wings beneath, if extended across the breast,would forma regular crescent. Its wings do not form a regular curve in front, but an abrupt angle. They are loose and broad at tips . . .

  P.M.—To Ledum Swamp . . .

(Journal, 10:385-387)
