was that a creaking limb

Was that a creaking limb?
I look up at a large oak soldier
Noticing an enormous squirrel nest for the first time
It is two feet wide, about fifty feet up on a large branch
A raven pushes off another branch
I hear the creaking limb sound a second time
Realizing it is his wings flapping against the air
