Jonich 1953 Asio Flammeus May24 Point Barrow, Alaska - at 5:30 pm. one was perched on top of a 25' steel mast just south of the buildings toward the edge of the salt water lagoon. This is the first I have seen. When I came near to tend bird trap the owl flew about 200' to a second mast that is about 15' tall. May25 At 7:30 am. one was perched on each of the two masts. Pete Sovalike said he saw a different brown owl along the village road, not a snowy owl, as he road to work this morning. The bird was at the supply piles just outside the base and could not have been one of the two I saw earlier. At 3:20 p.m. one on snow at the permafrost wanigan, evidently hunting lemmings. This or another at the drum stacks at 5 p.m. May26 One hunting near the drum stacks at 8 am. A few minutes later it came in off the lagoon and lit on the snow or on some low object near the village road. The owl carried some small prey, likely a lemming. At 2:15 p.m. we flew up ahead of me among the drum stacks and on a little prominence clear of snow there I found the fresh.
