Popis: We have examined high quality Arecibo data of three pulsars for evidence of strange attractors in pulse-to-pulse intensity fluctuations. Significant structure was found for PSR 0823+26, and seems related to pulse drifting and nulling activity. The low dimensionality of the possible attractor suggest that a simple dynamical model can explain this component of the flux variability.
