What would you say is the most fitting onomatopoeia for a bald eagle screeching?

Look, this will sound stupid but isn't "screech" already the most fitting onomatopoeia for a bald eagle's screech, maybe you can use cry or shriek, but they don't sound fitting as "screech".

If you wanted to put into text something that would make people instantly think of a bald eagle's screech, how would you do it?
Pretty much looking for the meow of bald eagles.

So after some research, I learned that the iconic scream of bald eagles actually comes from red-tailed hawks, and bald eagles actually sound like seagulls. So for majestic bald eagles, the equivalent of meow is that annoying kee or kree sound made by those pesky food thieves.

Yeah, I found that out recently too, It was a huge bummer. I suppose Kree works for realistic eagles.

What would be the meow of a red-tailed hawk though?
