Canton: Barred Owls... again

Whilst weeding my new Meadow garden, I heard a baby raptor calling.
Thinking it was hawk fledgling time, and having had Red tails nest in the
woods before, I assumed it was that. But then I realized the sounds were
coming from my Barred Owl box.

I hid behind my greenhouse and kept quiet, binoculars focused on the owl
box.

We already had a clutch of two this year. Those fledged in May, as they
have done in the past. I'm not sure how many are in there. But I think they
will fledge soon.

Do we think this is the same owl? Or this box is just being used very well?
