Cryptoglaux acadica. Lake Umbagog, Me. Sept. & Oct. 1893. W= Phen_a_whistle Nyctala acadica? Sept 21 w Oct 5 w 7 w Sept. 26 at about 9 P.M. a bird which I took to be a Saw-whet began calling in dense spruce woods on Pine Point. It uttered a single whistle very like that Phen of Strix fuscescens but louder or clearer. This was repeated at intervals of half a minute or less for four times. We answered (the whistle was easily imitated) and called the bird nearly within the circle of our camp fire but it soon flew off again. Miss Sargent thought that it was a Saw-whet. Oct. 5 - 9 P.M. night clear still warm Saw-whet Owl paid us a visit coming very close to camp circling around or whistling. Then he changed his call to a gasping ah-h-h-h something like that of a Blunt Owl but further more whistling - an uncommon sound nevertheless. In November after my departure, Miss Sargent shot this bird by the note of whistling. It proved to be a Saw-whet according to her & Bernier's identification. (cf letter J. Bernier Nov 23-1898 on file)
