I've been lucky to be in Williams Woods when the barred owl was present, and the location mentioned by Noah is where he was to be found, although in years past a barred owl could be found closer to the parking lot access near a small ravine.  The first time I saw it was in a hemlock quite low, perhaps only 15 ft. off the ground, a couple of days later it was about 20-25ft. up in a deciduous tree about twenty yards away from the hemlock, both near the memorial rock mentioned.  The first viewing was in the morning, the second in late afternoon.  As previously posted, some photos when it was in the hemlock can be seen here:

Good luck,
