Jonieh 1953 Nyctea scandiaca July 15 Point Barrow, Alaska The nest mound is worn and trampled with many small pellets about it. There were only 2 or 3 dead lemmings about July 16 Seven seen between Britton Manor and Nest #1 where the adults perched incautiously across the gully and allowed approach as close as 30' to 50'. The single chick is doing well. It has moved about 200' from the nest among the high polygons. July 19 None at Nunavik. July 21 Howard Hind of the carpenter shop and party discovered nest #3 on July 19. They shot the & and brought in 5 young - all of the brood that they saw. Today we accepted 3 of the broods, two to be obtained, one kept alive, and one taken to Unniat by Paul Baldwin. The 5th owl was given to some other person unknown to us. These 5 are apparently the younger of the 8. July 22 At nest #3 there was no sign of owls except that one, apparently the youngest lay dead about 100' away. The owlet seemed to have died of exposure and starvation. Possibly then, two of the young have survived and have walked from the area still accompanied and fed by the Dr. Brewer, Thompson and I searched the area for more than an hour.
