P.D. Kirkpatrick 1964 Asio flammeus Sand Island, Johnston Atoll, Pacific Nov 8:30 A.M. Dennis Stadel and I 24 observed an adult Short-eared Owl leave a Wedge-tailed Shearwater Burrow and fly east. The burrow was just south of the road that transverses the Mus grid. The bird circled around and probably did not leave the island. No attempt was made to collect it. Dec. 9 A.M. Phil Lehner and I observed an 10 adult flush from the ground, 10 feet from us and fly toward Johnston Island. Frigatebirds harassed it as it flew past the islet. It had flushed from the ground surface in the Lepturus west of the road which goes to the old pier. P.M. We constructed a perch and placed it in the Lepturus south of the Mus grid. Four owl pellets were picked up near where the owl had flushed.
