The Georgia Department of Natural Resources said some of their surveyors found the nest tucked under an overhang in the park.

When they came back, they found two nestling birds, who they estimate are about three weeks old.

In Georgia, ravens are typically only seen in the highest elevations in the northeast corner of the state.
