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

Thoreau writes in his journal:

  6 A.M.—To Merrick’s shore.

  Hear a warbling vireo, sounding very rare and rather imperfect. I think this is what I have mistaken for the young purple finch note . . .

  P.M.—To Ledum Swamp . . .

  Stopped and talked with W——W—— and ate a watermelon with him on the grass . . .

(Journal, 11:146-148)
