Which is not like the scaws you hear in movies. It is an irritating screech similar to a seagull with a bullhorn speaker. I think the movies are hawks, and they make pretty cool sounds, clearly.
Also, I think a lot of people don’t realize bald eagles love dumpsters. Honestly the main thing the bird has going for it is that it looks badass, but we could have picked better national birds.
They also generally use the kind of frogs you might record in, say, Griffith Park in Los Angeles if you want to record a frog sound. Which is why I, originally from Indiana, never heard a frog like they usually sound in movies until I went to Griffith Park after a rainstorm.
Frogs in Indiana (or at least the two parts of Indiana where I grew up and where I am living now) either cheep in a way similar to crickets or make a sound almost like the sound a rubber band makes if you pull it tight and then pluck it.

Movies use red-tailed hawk screams.

And roadkill! Last winter they spent months on this deer in a field near the road.
It only looks badass from the side. Looking straight on, it looks nervous and confused.
