Code 1957 Myctea scandiaca 29 July Pitt Point wood and a white owl (?) around nest #2. To my knowledge there are no juveniles in the area of nest #2 & #6. There is one deco- -ile in #4 area, 3 in the #3 nest and 4 widely scattered juveniles probably from #1. Probably only 2 - possibly only 1, of the #3 juveniles will reach flying age. All the others apparently will die at The positions of individual owls seen on these days are plotted on Malew's map, and the areas occupied by owls at #2, 3, 4, 6 and the present area of #41 are indicated. There appears to have been little or no selection in the number of adults present in the area since Malew made his census.
