P. D. Benedicts 1965- Nyctea scandiaca 13June Barrow, Alaska - found at least 5 birds, 3♂ +2♀, between Fanny's & S. Salt Lagoon. None seemed to be nesting and one ♂ is apparently unattacked. Found a scrap on which a ♀ had been sitting, on a small, bare raised polygon surrounded by a few feathers and pellets, but no signs of eggs. This pair was notable that the ♀ attacked two ♂ on 2 occasions, the 1st time knocking off a feather the second time chasing him away and was then attacked by a pair of Pomeranians. g.v. 14June Saw 4 nests today, one with 2, one with 3, one with 9+ one with 10 eggs. They were at least 3 additional pairs and 2 others unattacked ♂s. One of the pairs posed a "scape" upon which the ♀ was sitting. Saw one male flying about conspicuously carrying a lemming near a female, of the above pair, and another (10 egg nest) ♀ give "dracula" display. 15June Found a nest with 6 eggs on a mound on the top of the ridge along Elton Lagoon due East of the CHILL Tower at Barrow Point. The nest was surrounded by feathers as usual & the ♀ seemed quite concerned by my presence although was not dive-bombed. Saw a second pair out on the lake area, 2♂ low on a mound but no nest.
