First Robin – in Mountain Ash
2 or more inches of snow covering everything when I got up. Such a surprise – got front part of house cleaned.
Picked up Mary H. & Edith Keeler around 2 & drove up to Camp Young. The birds we saw before weren’t among the weeks & although we tramped the whole place saw only 2 birds & those from a distance. Drove on west & saw several horned larks. They are along the edge of road & either run ahead or fly into field beside. Wally spotted a possum in a corn field & we watched him eat, cross the road in front of us & walked into his den in side of a hill. Also a flock of redwing blackbirds just back from south. Juncos – and then a meadowlark – identified by white tails only. Edith is a grand bird companion. Drove through Heights look for Ray’s Cedar Waxwing, but no luck.
To Romines in evening. Ray had written article on Spring canker worm & we looked at butterflies. Home about 12:30.
