Sullivan J. 1961 Nyctea scandiaca she flew off, this time about 300 yards to the east. There she alighted on a high polygon, and once again resumed a vivid inspection of the tundra. The white bird stood out against the tawny ground, but did resemble a blotch of ice somewhat. Some small ice pockets are scattered about the tundra (as well as some large patches of snow). The owl remained on this high polygon when I left the trap lines. After melt-off is completed, the snowy owl should stand out. June 17 While checking live traps near the gas line this morning a 0' scandiaca flew by - from the direction of Family Lagoon toward Birch ridge. June 20 Looked at about year's owl nest near Skroavik Lake. It was on a little elevation, and was not much more than a depression. Owl pellets were scattered around the elevation. July 12 Pitt Point, Alaska. Saw 5 snowy owls at one time today - from 300-1600 yards south of the station.
