A red-tailed hawk (Buteo jamaicensis) was soaring over Norman, Oklahoma on December 1, 2018. Soaring is the most energy efficient flight mode for hunting. The fierce, screaming cry of the red-tailed hawk is frequently used as a generic raptor sound effect in television shows and other media, even if the bird featured is not a red-tailed hawk and especially for eagles.
