Well on Boxing Day when I stopped by my Parents House. When I looked up, I was pleasantly surprised by this pair of Red-Tailed Hawks. I really love these burds as this species of bird is my Fursona as I relate to them so much! These awesome birds do mate for life and they stay with each other year round which is the case here. The male is on the left and the female is on the right. They both look the same except the females are larger than the males. Chances are from July-April, when you see 2 Red-tailed Hawks together, chances are they're mates. The part in May and June are where nestling siblings are out of the nest and they hang out with each other.
So don't they make a lovely couple?

Of course they don't do it all the time. I've mostly heard the steam-whistle call from pairs that are doing aerial courting or who want to 'sound off' to one another, and that's a tiny minority of the time! (I think loud calls are mostly a buteo thing, but I don't know enough about the other buteos to know for sure).
However, Hollywood insists on using that call as the Universal Noise Every Bird Of Prey Makes - especially eagles. Which is just hilarious if you've heard real eagles - most eagles twitter, chirp and squeak, but they do NOT scream!
