Jonich 1953 Branta bernicla June 16 Point Barrow, Alaska about 100' apart. Clutches were 4 and 5. June 18 Nest on slope of ridge toward Elson Fagorn with 4 eggs, about 12' from a short-eared owl nest discovered several days ago and on the same low mound. June 19 Groups of 7 and 4 in central marsh. Snowy nest with clutch of 4 discovered there. June 21 Nest located just E. of L.E., with 5 eggs, 4 on nest. June 23 Two new nests just north of plot L.E. One has 5 eggs in the nest and a 6th egg nearly concealed in the thick down 2" below the outside of the nest rim. The other clutch is apparently not complete, with only 3 eggs. I saw no other than these 3 pairs of brant in the area. June 24 at 1:30 pm. nests N. of L.E. examined. They are about 120 yards apart, one 200' from beach and the other west. Both are on black-top polygons which lie here with several ponds among them. Each is at the side rather than on top of a polygon, but not concealed by grass. Nest near beach with eggs covered, goose on the other; she did not flush when I passed 100' away. Nest at S. end of plot not examined; I finally flushed when I walked past at about 75' after being in the area several minutes. I noted that both birds are banded on right leg. In the marsh between L.E. and L.W. 11 geese foraged for much of the afternoon.
