A Raven pair is pretty evident lately around the traditional nesting area in the hemlocks on the steep northern slope of 1,920’ “Sorry Hunter Hill” (not so named on any maps), West Danby. Right now they’re talking: one giving a “krawk krawk krawk” and the other deep and resonant “gronk” calls

I think May 17th is an early but possible date for Raven fledglings. If you're around the area frequently, their loud begging calls should give them away. In fact they get pretty darned loud even before they leave the nest. You can often hear Raven nestlings from several thousand feet away.
