To Galion with Ray at 1:30. Picked up John GIll & Hazel Chase – or rather left our car & John drove to woods east of Galion to see a great horned owl Johnny had heard of – and he did spot it. We all got a good look & also saw rub kinglet, hermit thrush, brown thrasher, etc. Hazel climbs fences with the best of them & Johnny goes through a woods like a fire. Then on east of Galion to E. Rins farm where he has taken Virginiensis (puris napi). We hardly expect it as the day was cold & drear – Temp about 50 & cloudy. But the conversaation was good & did try for some photos of bloodroot. Dentaria was blooming weakly & some spring beautys. Saw beech limb Johnny had taken humming birds nest from. Then to Charles Mill Dam east of Mansfield & saw a common loon. To Johnny’s to see the stuff he had recently mounted. Left Galion about 7:00. Had supper at hot dog stand & then out to Romines. Wally & Flo were there too,. Ray brought me home about 11:00 & picked up Sandra. Wally home shortly.
