Bubo virginianus. Lake Umbagog, Maine. 1896. We saw a number of Herons (in Richardson's Carry) and Aug. 23. heard the Great Horned Owls, an old one hooting near Moll's Rock and a young bird, uttering at short, regular intervals the peculiar husky scream, characteristic of the young of this species, among the stubs near Leonard's Pond. The only verbal rendering of this cry that suggested itself to me was cleer but that is not, I fear, a happy rendering. The sound is loud and it carries well. It varies greatly in quality. At times the tone is husky, almost gasping; at others clear and ring- ing- like a full, loud whistle and not unlike the single call of Pinicola only much louder. Sept. 10. Last night a Great Horned Owl hooted for an hour or more in the hemlocks near the head of the boat cove on Pine Point. This evening he began his serenade before sunset and was pre- sently answered by another bird in the same woods, the two hooting responses to each other for nearly half-an-hour. One bird regularly said hoo', hoo-hoo', hoo', hoo'; the other hoo', hoo-hoo-hoo', hoo', hoo'. These are the first Great Horned Owls that I have heard on Pine point this season, but Will Sargent heard one in Glaspy Cove on the evening of the 8th. On the western side of the Lake I have once heard an old bird near Moll's Rock and repeatedly young birds near Leonard's Pond.
