R.B. Hamilton 1965 Nyctea scandiaca June 14 of a mound. Many Contour feathers were seen in the vicinity of this nest. The & left the nest when I was about 50 yds from it. She joined the & as I was about who was about 200 yds. away. After I left the nest and was about 100 yds away, the & flew and landed in the snow 20 yds away, when I was about 150 yds away, she returned to the nest. After I flushed the & he was attacked by a Jaeger when be landed. He jumped at the Jaeger when the Jaeger dove. After about four dives the owl took off after the jaeger and the jaeger returned. A scrape was found about 0.5 mil. N ot where the first nest was located. A & and & were seen in the vicinity of this scrape. Four & were seen individually along the trail but no sign at nesting activity could be found. There were no males seen in the vicinity at any of these tumbles. In all about 10 owls were seen as I walked a distance of about 2 miles. Many at the highest mounds along my route contained owl sign such as droppings, pellets and feathers. June 15 A pair was observed at the N side of the Voth area. It was believed that they did not have a nest. The & was seen eating a Lemming. A nest that had been found previously was checked in the Voth area. It contained 3 eggs rather than 2.
