The ravens are back. Yes, plural.
I was out in the backyard yesterday afternoon trying not to let the wind get to me- it was hardly as bad as it'd been the day before- when I heard GRONK, GROOOONK noises from across the street. A few seconds later I heard them from another direction. I got my bird sound ID app up and running and recorded several more of the noises, and the app definitely thought they were raven rather than crow noises; I assumed the different directions I was hearing them from simply reflected one bird on the move.

Wish I had a better pic but when I saw how fast they were moving overhead I knew I wasn't going to have time to get the camera out and powered up and focused properly. But these birds were definitely bigger than crows, had wedge-shaped rather than fan-shaped tails, and croaked rather than cawing.
