When the eagles are silent
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt
NPR had a story about bald eagles recently and had some recorded raptor screeches to illustrate it. A registered raptorologist called in to complain that the bird calls they used were not those of a bald eagle but those of a red-tailed hawk. He went on to say that the sound of the bald eagle sounded like a cross between the honk of a goose and the quack of a duck that was being squeezed.
