Mighty Eagle?

Many of us associate the powerful voice of the Red-Tailed Hawk as belonging to the American Bald Eagle. It's a strange and absurd bit of propaganda and if you watch the videos below you'll see what I mean. First, listen to the hawk. Then, hear the rather pathetic voice of the eagle in the second video. Even the seagull in the background makes more noise! In the third video it sounds very like a certain formerly drug-addled, lame duck.
