April 16. 1900 Easter Monday.  An afternoon trip to Relay,
then a short distance along the River R'd and return.
We took the 1.20 P.M. train and reached R. about 1.45 P.M.
The afternoon was quite warm and we went without overcoats.
Our trip was mainly to find Dicentra.  Immediatley before
reaching the spot we saw a large bird, which had been shot,
lying near the road, we took it to be a buzzard, but a 
man passing said it was a fish-hawk.  It was an immense
bird measuring fully 4 feet across its wings from tip to tip.

Along the road are quite a number of Hemlocks.  The tops
of many of them had been cut out also many of the lower
branches; we learned that this <s>l</s> is done regularly around 
Christmas time <s>for</s> by people who get the foliage for
decorating purposes.  The Dicentra were found just coming
into bloom.  3 plants were found with blossoms fairly
open, Saturday will be about the time for collecting good
specimens.  We now went out the road a short distance
