      Fun fact: the famous bald eagle freedom screech as we know it from the movies is not from an eagle, it’s the scream of a red-tailed hawk.

        These days it’s actually the screech of the yellow bellied, tail tucked misogynist.

        In reality eagles just sound like large seagulls.

        Quite disappointing actually.

        Edit: Now that I see them juxtaposed I wonder if the names of the two birds are related due to the similarity in sound.

          Seagull… E-gull…

          Hmmm…

      They actually sound like deranged seagulls. I think that sound is probably more on the nose for what is going on in the US.
