If they are the same pair that circled over my yard a month ago, loudly gronking, I'd say it is more likely that they are perching somewhere at the northwest end of the lake. I'm at the eastern edge of Shoreline and Lake Forest Park--there is a series of ravines that come up from Lake Washington all the way to my yard--the Cole Nature Park abuts my boundary line. I occasionally hear ravens from my yard--the crows in the neighborhood can't stand it. I first heard a raven (from my yard) last fall, for about three days in a row--it was in a stand of trees in one of the ravines about a block from my house (I had to find it of course--I sure couldn't believe that there was a raven(s?) in my neighborhood). I read somewhere that ravens might be taking over some of the areas claimed by crows.
