I thought I should follow-up.   I have heard from several of you off-list and the general consensus is that it is much too late in the season for me to have heard mating activity, and the more likely explanation was that I actually heard one of the parents coaching the little ones to come for food/learn to hunt.  Apparently at this time of years the owlets fly well, but are still dependent, and quite talkative.

That may be even more exciting.  Now I want to set up my IR webcam and stay up all night to figure out where to aim it.
