Jowich 1953 Asio Flammeus July 29 Point Barrow, Alaska To leave, judging by size of the one caught yesterday on the beach ridge. The smallest is feathering out well, having the buffy and blackish color prominent. 4 or neat, possibly shading the young which certainly did not need warmth today. 7 about 150' away. There were no lemmings here. The previous nest had 6 juveniles about it and one adult which was headless and freshly partly eaten. On L.W. I found a nest with 4 young and 2 eggs, largest young still yellowish pink and with pin feathers forming on back. 7 was on nest, 7 seen nearby on July 26 but nest not known at that time. July 30 This afternoon with Thompson I checked nests in the Central Marsh and Wohlechlag Slough areas, finding two I did not know about before and examining three previously seen. Between the pond beside the slough (where the red-throat loons nest) and snowy owl nest #2 we found: a new nest among the polygons. The 7 was brooding 2 young 4' from the nest beside the next polygon, a low one about 10' across and 18" high. The smallest young was in the 4 pinfeather stage. The second was well feathered with down and some feathers. Five others rested among the polygons 20' to 100'
