Jonich 1953 Nyctea scandiaca June 1 Point Barrow, Alaska the nest. She moved several times and returned To the nest as soon as we drove off in the weasel. One pellet found in the area was of a brown lemming that had been di- gorged before digestion for the head was intact as was much of the body. June 2 & vacated nest as we drove up about 300' away in late afternoon. A? flew near, not quite overhead a couple of times, and several sounds were uttered. June 3 ? and ? at Wohlechlag Slough, possibly with nest at north side near end of Ridge. The ? was about 250 yards off, watching across the slough as we searched on the north tide for the nest. Several times I saw this bird raise her tail to about 45° above the horizontal and then lower it after a few seconds, all the while watching directly toward us. She remained there as we left the area. June 4 One at Britton Wanigan in early afternoon. One at drainage slough between village and base at 4 p.m., about 3 miles inland. The ? on nest remained as we stopped some 150 yards [illegible] off and walked about, but she watched us steadily. June 5 One in early morning in the drum area; it allowed approach to 50 yards before flying.
