the Thoreau Log.
30 September 1858. Concord, Mass.

Thoreau writes in his journal:

  A large flock of grackles amid the willows by the riverside, or chiefly concealed low in the button-bushes beneath them, though quite near me. There they keep up their spluttering notes . . .

  I see undoubtedly the little dipper by the edge of the pads this afternoon, and I think I have not seen it before this season . . .

(Journal, 11:186-188)
