Yesterday, after birding in the extensive woods of Roxbury Latin School
in West Roxbury as well as the quarry woods, I went over to Stony Brook
Reservation.. Last year, I had a Barred Owl with one young there.. I was
curious if there would be a sign or sighting in the same area  as last
time. Sure enough, at 4:35 p.m., one called one time. Four days ago, in
the Medford section of the Middlesex Fells Reservation, around 4:30
p.m., I heard one calling near me. It was easy to see. Another Barred
Owl was calling to it not far away. The literature mentions that Barred
Owls will call during the daytime
