" I hear, and have for a week in the woods, the note of one or more small birds somewhat like a yellow-bird's. What is it? Is it the redstart? I now see one of these. The first I have dis- tinguished. And now I feel pretty certain that my black and yellow warbler of May ist was this. As I sit, it inquisitively hops nearer and nearer. It is one of the election-birds of rare colors which I can remember, mingled dark and reddish. This re- minds me that I supposed much more variety and fertility in nature before I had learned the num- " bers and names of each order. I find that I had expected such fertility in our Concord woods alone as not even the complet- est museum of stuffed birds of all the forms and colors from all parts of the world comes up to. The neat and active creeper hops about the trunks, its note like a squeaking twig.' Thoreau, Journal. Redstart.
