[Maine-birds] barred owl fledgelings

I've not actually seen them, but there is a Barred owl pair which nest somewhere up on the ridge behind me and their chicks have fledged - babies have been calling around the edges of my yard and pasture.  Took me about 3 days to identify the creatures behind the unearthly wailing starting at 10ish and extending into early am.  (Also necessitating a hasty retreat from barn to doorway with pitchfork in hand the first night).

Now that we have determined they are not human/dog/sheep eating monsters I might try to find them.
