Interesting fact...they DON’T make the sound everyone thinks.

You may think you're familiar with the high, shrill scream of the bald eagle. After all, you've watched television and movies. You've seen them sweep across the screen while making that mighty call. Even if you live nowhere near bald eagles, you may hear what you think is their call while out on the hiking trail or even in an urban park. In fact, if you live nowhere near bald eagles you're more likely to mistake the sound you hear for their call, since you never get to hear their real call.

You see, whenever you watch a gorgeous bald eagle soar across the television screen and you hear its familiar call, what you're really hearing is the call of the red-tailed hawk.
