Nice sightings by Paul Johanson; it would help me to know where the "upper trail" is located.

Thanks!

Pretty amazing. Owls on demand! We trundled up the upper trail as described, to my surprise seeing no one else for the quarter-mile or so. Nearing site, it became clear there were others lurking and, incredibly, there were the Barred Owls as well, changing positions just in time to catch our attention.

I believe I saw two adults, who moved several times while we watched. The other observers included at least one group with a dog or two, and when shortly after we settled in another dog-walker somewhat rudely walked through with jocular greeting, we decided it was time to leave the birds alone.

This was about 8:45pm tonight.
