What about fledged but still dependent young ravens, which call =
incessantly all day long?  Seasonally the early broods start yelling in =
mid-May.  It=92s late in the season for this now, but we are still =
hearing them every day in east Wolfville and nw. Grand Pre.  Cheers from =
Jim in Wolfville.
