🎉 We are screeching in red-tailed hawk HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!!!

While we celebrate our country's 250th birthday (1776-2026), the bald eagle came late to the party! It became part of our national seal in 1782. Besides celebrating our national bird, who does require a voice actor in most movies, what other ways do you celebrate the 4th of July?

CAW CAW!!! 🎉
