Yesterday, Laura and I went for an evening/night bike ride on the C&O from
White's Ferry to Point of Rocks and back.  A couple of miles north of
White's Ferry Laura spotted a Barred Owl sitting on a log just over the
canal, about 15 feet away.  We had a good long look, then it silently
lifted off to an overhanging limb where it stayed long enough for us to
point out to a couple of other passing bikers before silently heading off
into the forest.

On the way home, well after dark, we heard (along with deafening loud
frogs) a pair of "something" calling to each other from high in the tree
tops.  We don't know if it was birds, mammals, amphibians, ghosts (j/k)...
 They would call back and forth several times, and then be silent for a
minute or so and start again.

I posted a short clip if anyone can identify what we heard we would be very
grateful.
