the Thoreau Log.
9 December 1852. Concord, Mass.

Thoreau writes in his journal:

  P.M.—To C. Smith’s Hill.

  Those little ruby-crownued wrens (?) still about. They suddenly dash away from this side to that in flocks, with a tumultuous note, half jingle, half rattle, like nuts shaken in a bag, or a bushel of nutshells . . .

(Journal, 4:426-427)
