The sound that the bald eagle makes is different from the movies.

Here is what they actually sound like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hlq2kcYQcLc. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0A2mZ5DjlM

And here is what red tailed hawk scream sounds like which is what most people think: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33DWqRyAAUw

EDIT:

One of the rules is to have a verifiable link so here you go from npr: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=156187375

Here are more sounds from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology (reliable source):

Also forgot to put TIL in the front of the title but I can't change that anymore.

      Is that better? I don't think I can change the title anymore.

        If you click on the pencil after clicking edit it let's yoy change the title, I'm still learning how to use the site as well. I won't delete it either way.

          It says 15min timeframe expired and when I hover over the title it gives me a circle with a line through it. That's after I press edit.
