Bubo virginianus. Lake Umbagog, Maine. 1897. At evening three of us went over to the flooded marshes Sept.14. again. A Great-horned Owl alighted on the top of a tall stub near Leonard's Pond sitting there for ten or fifteen minutes forming a distinct silhouette against the after-glow in the west. I could see him raise and depress the ear tufts and bob his head up and down. Either this or another bird had been hooting in the distance a short time before.
