Beaver 1967 Species accounts Snowy Owl Z 19 June Central Marsh, Pt. Barrow, Alaska 2000 Karl T., T. Custer and I saw a S.Owl carrying a large black and white bird. The S.Owl flew out into the swamp and lite in the water. We drove up even with the bird and the owl flew off leaving the prey lying in the water. Custer and Tolman went over to the bird and retrieved it. On returning to the lab, we decided it was a muske (it had no lead). On littleba said it was a Thick-fleld muske. 23 June Both S.Owl nests in the area have failed (see & Dr. Pikelbo above.) Must not be enough lemnings around to keep them going. The Adults are still here but no nesting is going on. 7 July Several owls still in the area near camp. One stays in the barrel area most of the time. One nearly always seen in Central Marsh and one out on Beach Ridge near mines vet.
