Beaver 1967 Alaska Journal 12 19 June backed off and then walked off, each in a diverging direction, in an attempt to triangulate on the nest. The bird returned to the nest and than we walked so far (it?) The nest had 2 eggs in it placed like so. It seemed the eggs were placed rather far apart for incubation. O O OO (See p. account for action of birds during this time.) ~1620 we then returned to camp. 1740 T. Custer had to go check ferreting trap lines one and two so Karl, Macken and I went along. The two trap lines are located about 1/4 mi S. of the micro met. Building on the S side of the road". In the lines I found two longears ♂ + ♀ in the traps. we went to the S end of line on the N edge of control marsh and on the way saw a S. Owl carrying a bird. We stopped and picked up the bird and took it with us. we checked the lines and returned. (See S. Owl account for behavior during the carryng of the bird.) We talked at the lab. for awhile and than I turned in.
