the Thoreau Log.
30 May 1855. Concord, Mass.

Thoreau writes in his journal:

  Saw bird’s nest on an apple by roadside, seven feet high: one egg . . .

  P.M.—Up railroad . . .

  Hear a familiar warbler not recognized for some years, in the thick copse in Dennis’s Swamp, south of the railroad; considerably yellowbird-like (the note)—tshe tshe tshar tshar tchit, tchit tit te vet. It has apparently a yellow head, bluish or slaty wings . . .

(Journal, 7:398-400)
