We heard some very unusual sounds in the afternoon~I thought at first I was hearing a neighbor's cell phone or something, but after careful listening, we are quite sure it was a bird, we just don't know what bird.
The first sound was similar to someone playing some high notes on a marimba close together and rapidly, then there was a single loud croak, and more marimba like noises but with more of a pitch variance. We did hear a Raven soon after that, and wondered if they can make these noises? I know some of their sounds are termed as "knocking" but this was much more musical than any of the recordings we've heard and not what we would call "knocking" though it was, obviously percussive. Unfortunately, the bird was in the woods behind our neighbors' house and we couldn't go exploring too much to track it down.
Thanks in advance for your help!

p.s. We also had a first for our yard today (in the 11 years we've lived here anyway)~a common nighthawk.
