Fellow birders please help?

OK, I'm stumped! For the second summer in a row, I am hearing a bird sound which I cannot identify, and in frustration I'm turning to all my fellow birders here.

In the woods around the house I am hearing a call that can only be described as a croakey, warlby, scream. Sometimes it's a solitary bird, and other times it's a small flock. Whatever it is, it's LARGE, but never flies out of the wooded area to be seen.

The one and only time I heard it and actually witnessed a bird fly in the area, it was a crow. Are the crows actually making this unreal, almost prehistoric sound?

I'm frustrated beyond belief trying to identify the source of these bizarre cries. Anyone got any ideas?
