I went looking for the Barred Owl yesterday at 3:45-4:10pm. There was a Pileated Woodpecker calling, and I could not find the owl where Mark had described. As I walked back to my car, the woodpecker call intensified; and I heard a scuffle high in the trees, then saw a large grey-backed bird fly off. I think it was the owl but not 100% sure. It flew west, in the direction of the medical complex. I drove around there and could not find it. Would love to see one one day!!! Alas, so close, but yet so far.
