P. De Benedicts 1965 Asio flammeus 11 June Barrow, Alaska. one was flushed from the Banel area along the E side Family lagoon in the afternoon about 4:30. It flew off giving little sign of attachment to the area. 13 June one seen fly from Family lagoon toward South salt lagoon, landed in a low area between its calls + the ocean. Picked up the left primaries and a tail of a bird Dr. P. Kelka identified as a male. The feathers were not weathered and were on a raised polygon in an area of Snowy Owl feathers + pebbles. 19 June One seen flying high up in the air (80+ feet up) flitting from the region of Bowersville to the Barrow area along the road to Ark. It alternated the typical floppy wing beat with long, spiraling glides the wings out straight Buteo-like, and it spent more time gliding than flapping. I saw no dives nor any evidence of a second bird. The bird looked mother like a proaging Red-tail Hawk as it flew but other Short-eareds I have seen do not flit like this. 20 June Beliue. Two birds to be present. Saw a very white colored (above or wings) bird flying high but in very felian accents. M. Salt lagoon and later a second, more russet-colored bird was seen going the same directions from the same area-the dumpy S. Salt lagoon. It, too, flapped most of its time but flew high and 1d twice glide very briefly, beat very Buteo-like.
