Jonich 1953 Asio Flammeus July 30 Point Barrow, Alaska more remote and less frequently visited or newly found nests. Aug. 8 Nest found between end of beach ridge and snowy owl nest #2, not previously known. It was in typical situation on grassy polygon. This makes 3 nests between ridge and slough. Nest with 6 owlets, the smallest 20' from nest, others singly with 2 together up to 200' from nest. One flew about 15' but was caught. A 7th bird well feathered had been partly eaten by some unknown agent. Finding this nest with large brood successfully quitting it is further evidence that human interference is a factor in nest success. On Plot L.W. nest still operating with 5 young, largest not ready to leave. Aug 9 No short-eared owl nests, in polygon country between Village and Vath's Station.
