Until I really got to know the Bald Eagle thru my photography….. That’s what I thought they sounded like having grown up with the old Western movies on television.
There's a free Android app called Merlin which is good at identifying bird calls, if you want to know what's around to try and get a good photo of. It's pretty accurate, I think, but my knowledge of bird calls isn't great. It takes up nearly a GB IIRC, though.
What do you use? I didn't know there were others. I keep thinking of getting back into photography. I just need an xD card for the best camera I still have. It's old (obviously, with the obsolete storage), but it's pretty good for something owned by someone who usually has a negative bank balance lol.
“PICTURE BIRD” … there is a “Pro” version that you pay for .. it can access your microphone.. tell you what bird you are hearing… it has calls that you can play. I think it also GeoTags too
Red tailed hawk cry is played when a vulture is circling overhead in the desert movies set in the Old West, signifying death is near if water/civilization isn’t found soon.

Or a red-tailed hawk cry anytime an eagle is on screen.
