All:

As of a few minutes ago there were 2 Common Ravens hanging out in the 
woods of the Beltsville Agriculture Research Center.  I first located them 
by their calls and later got to within 100m and noted the large size, 
large bill, and wedge-shaped tail.  There are the intersection of Center 
Road and the unnamed road it T's into:

Lat Long is:

39.0364°
-76.8731°

It is not far from my Lab the directions for which are below.

I am aware of a recent fly over of Ravens on Patuxent but this is the 
first time I am aware of Ravens on the ground in this area.

Directions from the intersection of the Washington Beltway (495) and the 
Baltimore Washington Parkway (295).

Travel NORTH outside of the Beltway towards Baltimore on 295.

In approximately 5 miles and about 3 exits you will come to an exit for 
Powdermill Road

Take the single exit ramp to Powdermill Road and turn LEFT

(NOTE:  The  main campus and the visitor's center for Patuxent Wildlife 
Research Center is to the Right, but our lab is located on Beltsville 
Agriculture Research Center property and therefore you must turn LEFT 
towards Beltsville)

Travel about 1.5 miles.

On your right you will see Entomology Road, this is a marker that your 
turn is coming soon.

Take the next right onto Center Road (note Center Road is not in most GPS 
mapping systems)

Travel to the last lab building on the left (there are no lab buildings on 
the right).

This will be building 308 which is very clearly marked.

Park in the parking lot out front.

At the door hit the button on the black box, wait for a reply, and then 
tell them you are here to visit me and they will let you in.

Alternatively, if someone is going in or out of the door you can follow 
them directly in.

I am in room 124.

Doors usually open.
