Janich 1953 Asia Flammeus May26 Point Barrow, Alaska - remains of an adult lemming (Lemmus). This included the head which was not shinned, and the intestinal tract which was essentially intact. Later about 300' away I found a second remains, with head and the intestines, on another prominence. This appeared to be about a day old. The short-eared owl may characteristically feed on the brown lemming in this manner. June1 One at Nuvukh, this or another at Beriik, and one about 4 mi. S. of base. Dan Thomp- son reported one in the drum area. June2 One at east side of drum area at 10am., perched on roadside snowbank. June4 This afternoon on a trip to Barrow Village and then across the back country and to the base we saw 6 or 8 short-eared owls. They were more wary than on other days this week, more allowing itself within gun- shot range. On 3 occasions two birds were loosely associated in flight movement over the tundra. The bird is obviously present because of the abundance of lem- minga. There was no definite evidence that any of the birds were meeting.
