The Raven was making a call that I don't remember ever hearing before. It was a sort of clicking call.

Each utterance lasted about a second and a half. </span></div><div style="font-family:arial;font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:"times new roman";font-size:13.5pt"><br></span></div><div style="font-family:arial;font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:"times new roman";font-size:13.5pt">I took a look at the recordings on Xenocanto, but for some reason, my computer decided that I won't be listening to any recordings, so I decided not to deal with that particular tech nightmare. and left it at that!</span></div><div style="font-family:arial;font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:"times new roman";font-size:13.5pt"><br></span></div><div style="font-family:arial;font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:"times new roman";font-size:13.5pt">Are any Tweeters familiar with such a clicking call of Common Ravens?</span></div><div style="font-family:arial;font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:"times new roman";font-size:13.5pt"><br></span></div><div style="font-family:arial;font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:"times new roman";font-size:13.5pt">Yours truly,</span></div><div style="font-family:arial;font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:"times new roman";font-size:13.5pt"><br></span></div><div style="font-family:arial;font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:"times new roman";font-size:13.5pt">Gary Bletsch</span></div><div style="font-family:arial;font-size:14px"><br></div>
