    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.
