Childs. 1957 Snowy Owl Nyctea scandiaca June 9 Point Barrow Alaska I found a pellet with a weasel skull in it on the mid- ridge where I set the trap line. We saw one near the eskimo village day before yesterday. June 11 I picked up a well preserved specimen in the snow in the barrel dump. It apparently had starved to death. June 12 0830 we flew across and landed south of camp as we were going out to the transects. It flew on as we approached in the weasel. June 13 One flew across marsh south of first ridge from the mid-ridge and was chased by sandpipers and arctic Terns. June 17 One was sitting on weather station on first ridge Franz shot at it but did not get it. The roost was checked for pellets but none found. July 13 Someone reported seeing one 6 mi S. I do not remember details July 15 Frank saw one on E W July 17 One was at the edge of E. It had been in the same place for some time as apparently all judging from the feces which were green & stringy. There was another to the north if I'm. July 19 Both still present in the Dave area Aug 7 East Ommalik, 110 mi SSE Barrow, Alaska There was no pellets to be found on the mounds in this area and no sign of this species, although the Microtus were here in abundance.
