I’m not an eagle, but I play one on TV.⁣

Well, this is hawkward. Did you hear that? Whether on a hike or watching a bald eagle soar across your TV screen, that iconic screech you’re hearing is likely the call of the red-tailed hawk. The smaller hawk has a mightier voice than its larger cousin. 

Our eagle friend usually goes with a series of high-pitched whistling or piping notes, while the hawk makes the familiar hoarse, screaming kee-eeeee-arr! Do it with us. ⁣KEE-EEEEEe-ARR!!!! Now that everyone in the house is wondering what’s wrong with you, go tell them about the red-tailed hawk.
