Sounds like ravens
Both ravens and crows are members of the corvidae family. They both have varied vocalizations including mimicking of other birds and sometimes even mammals. I have actually seen a raven shriek in Tuftonboro. The sound is bone chilling until you get a fix on what did it. The first time we heard it was at night and we couldn't imagine what it was. The next time it was daylight. My first thought was a similar sound to what a peacock will make but more gravelly. I couldn't find any web sites that explained this but I know what I saw. Ravens are more common around the lake then they used to be.
