Jonich 1953 9 Asio flammeus July 24 Point Barrow, Alaska An adult on beach ridge at L.W.; no active nest known near here July 28 Nest just S. of A.A.C.S. antenna on Beach Ridge empty except for one egg that had a well- developed embryo and one infertile. I found one young about 175' away among the heu moche, unable to fly but with wing and tail feathers in C stage. An adult flew up 150' farther away, from LVT tracks. As I searched over the area at one time 2 adults flew about, 400-500' in the air at turnes in leisurely flight and hovering on the wind. This was higher than any flight I have previously seen, even when the birds were pressured by jaegers. This time one bird turie flew at a jaeger passing through. July 29 For the first time today I found the nest along the gas well road between Britton Manor and Vath's Station. 4 on nest which contained one young in early pin feather stage and one egg. About 200' away. Across the inlet and about 200 yards away, on the sod that is sloughing because of wave action, but stabilized by the same coarse gross that this owl nests in, I found a new nest. It contains 3 young, 2 about
