June 26 Point Barrow, Alaska 300' from the owl nest, within the jaeger territory. When the owl again settled on his perch the jaegers did not disturb him. July 4 Pair collected 5. of Brittoni for Pitelka to examine brood patches. Prominent paired patches in male and in 4. July 5 One member of a nesting pair spent several minutes apparently digging for a lemming. It leisurely tossed pieces of turf and moss to the sides and rear, but made no mention as if actually attempting to grasp the moss. The jaeger gave up this activity and hunted from the air with bill turned vertically downward. Alighting after 100' the jaeger pulled a dead lemming which I had seen several minutes before, from shallow water. The lemming had been dead for some time and did not seem to be suitable as food for after a few pecks at it the jaeger flew off. July 10 In casual checking of nests today I noted the first chicks I have seen. One nest con- tained one possibly 2 or 3 days old, for it walked from the nest after I handled it. The other was not nearby. Nest at S.E. side corner of L.W. had one piped egg; dates of egg-laying known by Pitelka. Another nest contained one small chick and an egg.
