I have quoted below the end of the Washington Post Movie review of "Rango," 
the latest epic Western (albeit animated) with the voice of Johnny Depp as 
Rango.  Ann Hornaday points out the correct use of the screech of the 
Red-tailed Hawk.  Gotta' love it.

"A sun-baked symphony of rust and dust, "Rango" has a spiky, unsentimental 
appeal, sending out slightly risque jokes to parents while staying safely 
out of the danger zone for kids. And for a cartoon, it possesses perhaps the 
most unlikely added value of all: authenticity. "Rango" may actually be the 
first Hollywood movie to use the familiar screech of a red-tailed hawk, not 
as the voice of a soaring eagle or other bird of prey, but as the voice of a 
red-tailed hawk. Bonus points for that. "
