Til: The Red-Tailed Hawks, are the hawk noises that are dubbed over Bald Eagles in most Hollywood movies because in reality Bald Eagles don’t sound as powerful or as cinematic.
The MGM lion roar is also actually a tiger. A real lion roar sounds yawny and gravelly.
While the Bald Eagle sounds like a seagull, it is very frickin loud. I was glad they gave Eagly in Peacemaker real eagle sounds, though I think he is still way too quiet.

For anyone who was curious like I was. Reminds me of a seagull.
(The link does lead to bald eagle calls, I don’t know why the link says golden eagle)
It’s always been funny to me that people are totally OK with the idea that punch noises and other cracks and crunches and grunts are made by the Foley team but think sounds like this are totally realistic…
Besides, red-tailed hawks do not scavenge while bald eagles do.
Hey now, scavengers have some amazing benefits to the world.
Vultures limit disease transmission and clean up dead stuff that would otherwise stink to high hell.
