Horned owl is in that area at this time of year, it's quite possible that there is a nest nearby. Indeed, a pair nested there for 2 or 3 years in a row about 20 years ago. Around the same time, there also used to be a one-eyed Barred owl that hung around the trailer park there. I can only suggest that you keep a close watch on the area, scan the trees, go out at night and listen, and see if you can track down the bird. When you scan the trees during the daytime, watch very carefully for the shape of a possible owl, as they tend not to move during the day. Also, check under possible roost trees for 'whitewash" and pellets. I haven't been into Palmeter Woods lately, but if work schedule and the fact that I'm laid low with a horrible cold right now, permit, then I could have a look in that area soon.
