I went there a couple of times at dusk while they were there and watched the adults fly out and return with food for the babies. They were LOUD, and peeked out several times in view, obliging those of us wanting them to make an appearance. What an experience for a backyard birder! And, as an encore, we watched the International Space Station fly over around 10pm on one of those nights we were there to see the owls. Coldstream is a nice park area, for those who haven't been there yet, don't overlook it.
