not leave the area when I approached
her but she did not "mew" or act as
though young might be around.
At 1045 a very white owl-"male"-
was seen in the tree of Malew's nest
#2. When approached it flew west-
coward ca 1/4 mi. Three more owls
at this time were sitting ca 1 mi
southwest of this bird. Another
was sitting in the lake area eastward
of nest #1.
At 1545 three banded young
ca 4-5 weeks old were found on the
waterwood. These were #'s 519-11211, 12,
and 13. The same & which has
been attending #10 also attends
these three. They are separated by
c. 1/4 mile and 9 flies back and forth
between them. There are no owls
in the area of nest #1 now and I
believe these young are from that
rest. At nest #1 I found the wings
and legs of two adult black bant.
Ca 20 yds away there was a torn
up goose left and egg shells. The
pellets contained mostly lemmings,
however.
