Hi Lucy, Interesting email/video! I've just started a list of "offbeat"
places one can find birds (wastewater treatment plants, landfills,
retention ponds, etc.). Now I can add maintenance yards to the list. Fits
right in!

The raven pair that lives at the Fairfax City Maintenance Yard off Pickett
Road appeared to be feeding three young birds Thursday evening. We saw and
heard the adults and one of the adults approached the three birds perched
on the roof of the tallest building toward the back of the yard and
appeared to be feeding them. I had only my phone but captured the sounds of
the younger birds which appear similar to the fledgling calls in Sibley
Birds online version. I have attached the recording. The birds are visible
on the left of the roof in the beginning of the video but the calls should
be audible.
It seems awfully early for them to have bred?
