There was three of them and they were spread out amongst two or three trees in the middle of the forest. I got to observe what they do when they make that crazy screaming sound. So one day I was out walking in this “enchanted” Douglas Fir forest.Īnd I happened to be walking really close to where the Ravens had their home base. To me – it really does sound kind of like a human being is basically just screaming their head off every few seconds, and this goes on all day long at certain times of year. This recording from the Macaulay Library is a perfect example of the Juvenile screaming sound I’m talking about. It’s really not what I would call a particularly healthy or diverse forest but it does have Ravens in it.Īnd in springtime you can hear the juveniles calling out there. We would always call it the enchanted forest. It’s this really weird forest that was logged a few years back and then replanted with nothing but Douglas Fir trees as far as the eyes can see. They like to hang out in the big Douglas fir mono culture forest next to the School. There’s a really nice population of Ravens on the land there. One time when I was a student at Wilderness awareness school… I had a chance to get an up close and personal view of what is actually going on when the ravens make that crazy screaming sound. It’s a great piece of knowledge to have about crow and raven language.Įspecially if you’re interested in interpreting what crows and ravens are actually saying and the meaning of their communication. Very often if this story is coming to me during late spring or early summer, this is actually juvenile Ravens doing a very specific type of behaviour. “I was out in the woods and I heard this crazy sound, and it sounded kind of like a human being screaming off in the distance. I often get questions about specific types of crow and raven vocalizations, and one of the most common ones that comes up is when someone says…
