The eagle sounds like a disappointed gull.
Another fun fact about red-tailed hawk screams: blue jays will imitate them, so sometimes when you hear it outside that doesn’t even mean one is close. It’s not known for certain why they do it, but I suspect it’s because they’re little bastards (affectionate)
Because blue jays are kind of assholes.
They are corvids, so they’re super smart.
Especially when they kidnap you and drag you though weird time travel adventures
I’ve heard starlings imitate red kites, so that tracks.
I assumed jays do it since they are nest robbers trying to scare off a mom/pop.
I’m pretty sure other birds will do this too, we get these little black birds that do it
also the golden eagle is a superior hunter than the Bald eagle, the bald one just likes to steal kills most of the time, although they do hunt, they can hunt prey like goldens can. if you compare the talons of the golden and bald, the golden massive ones.
Fitting that the bald eagle is representing the US then.
The bald eagle is also not a real eagle.
It’s not surprising. The bald eagle song is not very intimidating and they call rarely.
Since no one has provided an example yet, here’s a video.
Thanks, the top comment is le epic xkcd lucky 10.000. I like some xkcd comics but this one is just saying “Knew it! I knew it already!” with some fairly questionable statistics behind it.
That Submersive Communist Bastard!
No, you’re thinking of the orca
Idk, Conan was pretty convincing when fans called him out years ago.
I was very surprised the first time I heard one in our backyard. I was thinking “WTF!? Was that a seagull?”
Also a fun fact: red-tailed hawks aren’t hawks, they’re a type of buzzard.
I always heard bald eagle calls as an “ukikiki” sound, they are pretty common here in my part of British Columbia.
The Canada Eagle*. We have most of them now, we should rename them.
Holy shit! Do it.
Shhh… if orange baby hears, he’s going to rename the bird to Canada America…
But mostly turkey vultures in movies
