the Thoreau Log.
15 April 1854. Concord, Mass.

Thoreau writes in his journal:

  Morning.—Snow and snowing; four inches deep . . . When Father came down this morning he found a sparrow squatting in a chair in the kitchen. Doesn’t know it came there. I examined it a long time, but could not make it out . . .

  P.M.—This cold, moist, snowy day it is easier to see the birds and get near them . . .

(Journal, 6:197-198)
