Asio accinitrinus . 
1890, 
October 8. 
Lake Umbagog. 
Moose Point. 
As it was getting dark a Short-eared Owl suddenly glided 
past me within a few feet turning out over, the lake, then back 
over the beach where I shot it. It flew like a great moth and 
fell broken-winged, clicking its bill and making a snoring sound 
when I picked it up.
