That's way too cute for how angry this bird looks.

It's hard to believe that a bald eagle actually sounds like a little bird. Personally, I think their calls are rather musical.

That moment when all of tv lied to you about the bald eagle call...

The bald eagle may be the Face of America, but the red-tailed hawk is the Voice of Freedom.

That's the most bad ass tea kettle I've ever seen.

[Scarecrow]

So our national bird is a car alarm...

[CJCroen]

Why do people not use this cry? I'd say this is plenty majestic enough for an eagle!

[Skidodles]

Not what most people expected, but still very majestic.

I live in Colorado. I hear this all of the time while I am out hiking and exploring. We have a lot of eagles in Colorado. 😊🦅

It's really an entirely different experience when you're out there hearing them call like this to each other. There's a wildlife refuge here and in the Summer you can see nearly a hundred of adults teaching the adolescent eagles how to hunt. Their calls are SO loud, even if you're a ways away. You can hear them communicating with each other wayyy far up in the trees, and something about it, idk, if makes me kind of want to cry. They're such beautiful animals

This is only one of the many variants of an eagles call. The most common is a high pitched chatter/cackle. I believe the stereotypical call of an eagle (as portrayed on tv shows and movies) is the call of a red tailed hawk. Thanks for reading this and helping me feel smart :)

god bald eagles have the be the grumpiest looking birds ever but that's what makes them awesome.

[tearoses]

I wonder if eagles are aware of how much we glorify the heck out of them...

[Wispii]

As someone who lives near the coast… this sounds like a sharp cry of a seagull

[Double_D__]

My brother just walked by and asked if I could hear a sea gull outside of the house. Then I showed him this.

[BirbBoiYT]

I honestly like how the Bald Eagle actually sounds. It makes it seem kinda cute :3
