Hi Theresa,
Those were very likely the Great Horned Owls that nest in the vicinity of the Arboretum each year, I've heard 1 or more of them calling from the pines at that intersection several times in the last few months 🙂 Sounds like they may well have at least one youngster again this year, some years there have been two owlets.

Subject: owls near WSU arboretum 9:03 April 24
Hi there,
As I was driving to work, I observed 3 large owls lined up and roosting on a more-or-less horizontal branch on a large tree. I was driving and could not identify what kind of owl was perched.
The location is approximately on the SW corner of Grimes Way and Terre View Dr., across Terre View from the WSU arboretum parking area. A good view should be available from the walking path that runs along the stream there.
Anyone who is on or near the WSU campus and able to take a quick break probably has a good chance of seeing them.
