August 2.
As we rest in our boat under a tree, we hear from time to time the loud snap of a wood pewee’s bill overhead. The bird is incessantly diving to this side and that after an insect and returning to its perch on a dead twig.
We hear the sound of its bill when it catches one.
We hear the sound of its bill when it catches one.
H. D. Thoreau, Journal, August 2, 1860
