I really think both Raven and Qrow have some other way of gathering info and finding out about things.

Like, one guess/theory I have is that the reason Raven knew that Yang lost her arm is because there was a black bird with dark red eyes sitting outside Yang's window during the ending narration of End of the Beginning.
