Hawk calls
SongLark teaches 8 hawks, from Birds of the North Island, Birds of California, Birds of Central & Southern Thailand, Birds of England, Birds of the Pacific Northwest and Birds of Eastern North America. Hawks can sound alike, so play each recording below, read what to listen for, and follow a bird to its own page to learn more.

Birds of the North Island
-
Swamp Harrier Circus approximans
Maori: kahu. A thin high kee-a over open country and wetland edges.
Birds of California
-
Red-tailed Hawk Buteo jamaicensis
A hoarse descending keeeer, the sound film uses for every eagle.
Birds of Central & Southern Thailand
-
Brahminy Kite Haliastur indus
A thin, wheezy, drawn-out mew from over the harbour.
-
White-bellied Sea-Eagle Icthyophaga leucogaster
A loud nasal honking duet, like a goose, from a headland perch.
Birds of England
-
Common Buzzard Buteo buteo
A mewing 'pee-yow', like a cat, from a broad-winged hawk circling overhead.
-
Red Kite Milvus milvus
A high, wavering whistle, 'weee-oo-weeoo-weeoo'; a russet raptor with a deeply forked tail.
Birds of the Pacific Northwest
-
Bald Eagle Haliaeetus leucocephalus
A surprisingly weak, high, chittering and piping series of notes, not a scream.
Birds of Eastern North America
-
Red-shouldered Hawk Buteo lineatus
A loud, repeated kee-ah, kee-ah, kee-ah from wet woods; Blue Jays imitate it.
