Raptors.

I am assuming they are raptors. I appear to live right on the boundary of 2 pairs home range. They chase each other off if one pair is caught on the wrong side of the border, they spend most of their time using the thermals rather than flapping their wings. I haven't seen them up close, usually about 3 or 400 feet in the air. They are big, about 3 times bigger than the local crows. They have large wedge tail. Their call is similar to a squeaky wolf whistle.

Has anyone any ideas what they maybe?

Another search I found described more or less how I saw these birds flying. The description seemed to match Black Eagles. They do seem to fly around just above the tree tops. I'll try to get a photo, or a short video as that will have their call on.
