Bubo virginianus. Lake Umbagog. 1886, October 23. Reached the Lake House in the twilight. Went down on the meadow and heard an Owl calling at regular intervals in a snarling tone almost like a cat. Saw it perched on the top of a stub across the river. It looked as large as a Bubo. It was calling at II o'clock P.M. and near daybreak the next morning. (I now know that it was a Bubo virginianus. 1889). 1889, October 18. Lake Umbagog. Pine Point. The Great Horned Owl came to the dead hemlock nearly over my tent some time before daylight and waked me by his hooting. I have never heard him utter anything but the hoo, hoo-hoo, hoo, hoo variation. This near at hand sounds soft and mournful - al- most like the cooing of a Dove. 1890, October 12. Lake Umbagog. Near the Megalloway a Great Horned Owl flew across the river alternately flapping and scaling like a Buteo. Heard two Great Horned Owls hooting near Moll's Carry as we were on the marsh after the Ducks. One hooted in a higher key than the other and had an additional note, hoo, ho-ho-ho, hoo-hoo- hoo, hoo. They were near together and probably a pair.
