E.M. Brock 1957 Journal July 9 Banow, Northern Alaska about 200 yards south of these two transects. After finishing the lines I went to check the location and soon saw Two owls but no nest (see sp account) Spent at least three hours watching the owls. Put up a skin of a yellow-billed loon which had been wounded in the wings and brought in from the point by Carl B. Everson and Dr. Geza Teleki. Apparently the bird had been wounded some time previous and Everson and Teleki caught it on the ground. July 10 Today seems to be the first day that the mosquitos are bothersome. While checking lines III A and B in the morning I was very much annoyed by them. Ten birds were carried in the two trap lines, five of them fledglings. Four other traps were off with feathers caught under the wire. One trap was missing. A utilization check was taken on transect IV B. Tom Cade came back; I took him over to the trap lines and to show him the snowy owls which were seen again in about the same location.
