9 June Barrow, Alaska, cont.
A jogger was struck by the J Owl, although Caitlin's tag
had not been bothered. The jagers here are much
whiter below and have less [illegible] on the wings than do
most of the birds I have previously seen in Wollong Bay;
Only saw 1 Black phase bird aid us "jud your" plumy.
Saw 2 joggers eating ice and seen Snowy Owl for
additional account of running feeding.
10 June. none about ATL area; all birds seen today were South+
cost of the Beach ridge. The 1st large concentration seen
was 18 sitting on the snow in the SE part of the
central marsh in a large area; about 10 territorial
birds could be seen in the same area to the SW;
there were scattering birds along the Beach Ridge
and elsewhere in the Central Marsh and towards
Elson lagoon from this area, again mostly apparently
territorial birds. There was a group of about 12-17
birds on the N part to Wohlschlag Slough and a
slightly smaller group (8-12) near Grant Point;
about 8 additional birds were feeding or flight-displaying
over Wohlschlag Slough. Saw only 1/2 melanistic birds
and very few (2-3) aerial combats.
11 June Saw much territorial flight but no concentrations
although 6-8 birds could be seen at one time; those
are neither evenly spread out in the areas south of
the Beech ridge.
