I.B. Hamilton 1965 Asio flammeus June 13 Barrow Alaska - One was observed flying across the road on the NW side of Family Lagoon. It landed on a gravel mound about 300 yds. from the Lagoon. Jun. 19 One bird was observed flying at the N end at the Britton Area. Jun. 20 Two birds of this species were observed flying over the N end at the Britton Area. One of these birds flew in circles at about 150 ft height, when flying it alternating four or five flaps and a soar. One of the owls is missing several primaries in the right wing. Jun. 21 Two birds were again observed at the N end at the Britton Area. Jun. 25 One bird of this species was observed flying N at Coastal Areas. It was pestered for a time by a pair of jaegers. The jaegers would make shallow dives at it and it would try to get them with its talons. Eventually the jaegers left it alone, probably after it had left their territory.
