Owl sighting

When I was walking the kids to the bus stop this morning, I noticed a large shape in one of the trees along the creek. Is that an owl? I asked the kids. As we were staring at it and debating the question, it turned its head and looked right at us. Apparently our excitement was a little too noisy, because a minute later it took off and flew along the creek into the woods on our property.

I am not great at bird identification, but after eliminating the New England owls that don't live in our area, I think it's a barred owl.
