If you’ve ever watched a movie with a bald eagle soaring majestically through the sky, you can probably hear its piercing cry in your head right now. The problem? That sound isn’t coming from a bald eagle at all. What we’ve been led to believe is the mighty screech of America’s national bird is actually the call of a red-tailed hawk.
