Does anyone know where I can get a copy (mp3, wav, aiff, doesn't matter...) of the falcon bird call they use at the football games after we score a touchdown? I've been wanting it for a while now but haven't been able to find it.

Call up FAlcon Freak and have his son come to the phone. Stand back. Place recorder up to phone and you are all set.

This is the closest I could find:

Of course, it's not the official BG Falcon screech, but it is a "warning" screech from a real peregrine falcon.

Here's another one that would be absolutely hysterical if it were used over the Doyt PA system

I'm pretty sure I've heard that the one they use at the stadium isn't actually a peregrine falcon call.

I beleive it is a norther long tail red falcon call....its a rare breed that formerly lived in the black swamp area, but since its development the bird has migrated to Europe where it has been plagued by the Avian Flu which was introduced when one of these falcons found the swan in the neighboring pond to be quite attractive.
The recording at the stadium is the only one in existence, and it to be valued as it is the last remaining link to this wonderful creature.

sounds more like an African swallow

I always thought it was a Sasquatch (J4H, I'm looking at you).

Are you full of it?

Makes me very proud that Jake can do that so well....not that I've brainwashed these Freaklings at all. They became BG Falcon fans on their own.

When Jake's voice changes in the years to come, we'll see if he can still do that.

Must. Resist. Tasteless. Joke.

The "falcon screech" is actually that of a red-tailed hawk, as per my high school agriculture class. This screech is commonly used for bald eagles in movies because well...bald eagles have a sissy call to begin with. So to dispell any confusion, red-tailed hawk and not a falcon at all.
