There were two Barred Owls perched in trees right above the shelter on the Wilson Trail in Sapsucker Woods at 8:30 this morning with at least one more calling in the vicinity. The two were calling and out in the open. Yesterday morning I found two with more calling at around the same time on the trail that goes between the Wilson Trail and SSW Rd at 8 am, but then I couldn't find them when I went back through the same area at 8:45, although I could still hear one calling occasionally. So they seem to be active and moving around that portion of SSW, and they seem to call less frequently as the morning progresses.
