I have a question. Today I was birding on the Noland Trail of the Mariner's Museum Park in the city of Newport News. I saw what I thought to be an extremely large crow perched up in a tree, when it made a peculiar, deep croaking noise and flew off. As it flew I again thought that it looked abnormally large for a crow. Based on these observations, I identified it as a Common Raven, though in all of the books I looked at the range maps suggested that Hampton Roads would be a highly unlikely place to see one. So I thought I would ask whether it is at all possible that what I saw was a Common Raven, as it definately made a niose that I have never heard from a crow. Any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks.
