Is it true that the bold, powerful scream commonly associated with the bald eagle is the bald eagle's own call?

Yes. A Wikipedia article on the bald eagle states that in film and television the call of the red-tailed hawk is often substituted for the bald eagle's because the hawk's call is louder and more powerful, indicating the familiar powerful scream is not the bald eagle's own call.
