F. Cade 1957 28 July Pitt Point 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.
