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
