Since this thread has already devolved into humorous tangent... You know how when you're being shown a desert or otherwise desolate scene in a movie or television show, and the sound designers will pop in that single echoing bird caw to further accent the desolation of the place? That's a red-tailed hawk, usually a specific sound file from a specific sound effects library, and it's a running joke among the sound designer community to wedge it in wherever possible.

What, you think we don't hide jokes in all your favorite movies? Ever heard of the Wilhelm scream?
