Nyctala acadica.(?).
Lake Umbagog, Maine.
1893. At night in the spruce woods near camp some night bird
Sept.26. which I took to be a Saw-what uttered, at short intervals, a
loud whistle much like that of a man calling a dog. (About a
month later after I had left the Lake, Will Sargent shot a
Saw-what - doubtless this same individual for it was in the
same place - in the act of uttering this whistle).
