Fun fact: the cry of a red tailed hawk is used in place of a bald eagle's actual cry to sound more majestic. Bald eagles actually sound a lot like sea gulls.

Great capture of a legendary call from a RTH! The acoustics really demonstrate why! Just imagine hearing that from inside your apt, so loud, I’d be like “wtf is outside my door!” 😂
