Fall birding on the River: sparrows.

October 8. 

October 8, 2014









On river. — Flocks of tree sparrows by river, slightly warbling. Hear a song sparrow sing. See apparently white-throated sparrows hopping under covert of the button-bushes. 

Found my boat yesterday full of willow leaves after the rain. See no tortoises now on the rocks and boards. It is too cold.

H. D. Thoreau, Journal, October 8, 1855

Hear a song sparrow sing. See October 8, 1856 ("A song sparrow utters a full strain.”)

A journal, a book that shall contain a record of all your joy.
"A stone fruit. Each one yields me a thought." ~ H. D. Thoreau, March 28, 1859


I sit on this rock
wrestling with the melody
that possesses me.
