July 9
Petrmegea Bay, Alaska.
Mostly sunny day, wind died down
the still breezy until evening when it
became calm. Pure running bank to
bank in morning. Dropped rapidly so
that by evening we could walk dry shed
to the boat anchored in mid stream.
Made round of nests. LT#4, Parent#1,
Bom #2, LT#11 (fenced it in) & LT#2 returned
To camp at 4:30. After supper, calm, sunny
watched owl hunting across river. Found
nest. Watched owls from Send campbridge
spotted & located second nest.
July 10
Petrmegea Bay, Alaska.
Broken clouds in morning light
SW wind blowing, cool. Made round
of Parent#3 & Owl#2, then went out on
round of LT#5, Parent#2 & Bom#1.
Found an Owl nest (#4) near LT#5, 206
pales E. of it to be exact. Pomeranie
#1 is gone. Chick gone, only a few tufts
of down were found. The pipping egg
I don't think ever hatched - the shell is
still in compound but no sign of its
contents. At least one parent still present.
One pomeranie defending territory activity.
There may possibly be another nest in
