Hi Pepper,
In my opinion, they are Ravens. Although I'm not a bird expert by any means, I have seen these birds hanging around the dumpster at work and they look like giant crows, usually about 3-4 times the size of our average crows. One day I heard this loud screaming that made the hair on my neck stand up and went to investigate. Sure enough, there were about 10 of them sitting in the trees around the dumpster alternating between the screaming and the loud clicking sounds they make. I have seen one fly off with an entire slice of pizza in it's beak.
