What bird actually provides the iconic cry often associated with bald eagles in the U.S.?

• Red-tailed hawk:You hear that? That's the sound of freedom. But as mighty as the bald eagle may appear, it doesn't have the chops to;represent the U.S. vocally. As a bald eagle glides across a wilderness that slowly fades into a waving star-spangled banner, a red-tailed hawk screeches behind a curtain to hide the eagle's true sound, which is more like a cackle. But don't let this truth lessen the might that is America, as we'll let freedom cackle...erm, I mean ring. Source: NPR
