527 Elmore SNOWY OWL D 1931 Point Hope, Arctic Ocean, Alaska. Aug. Took me today about 5 miles east of village. It was sitting on a timber, several hundred yds away from an inhabited house, + took flight when I got within 40 yds. It had 5 mice in its stomach, 4 of which were quite fresh. Aug 6+7 Noted one on each of the above days. They always took flight from this perch on some tundra hammock, so I came to within 100 yds. They have a combative flight low over the ground, of leisure flapping & soaring. August 22 Haven't seen many - occasionally one (always alone) sitting on some hammock or mass of debris. Their pellets found around their perching places resemble cylindrical masses of feet interspersed with bones. Bird bones seem to be about as numerous as mouse bones. Sept.1 St. Matthew Is., Bering Sea. Mason (A.L.) reported seeing several on his wal (across the islands).
