Not a buzzard, Stevie, but a hawk. Nice picture !
ThanksI think Stevie is correct, that it's the 'common' buzzard' {Buteo buteo). We have them soaring over our garden from time to time.
Buzzards are members of the hawk family (Accipitridae) and most American species of "hawk" are actually buzzards, but you guys don't call them that.
Nice picture, Stevie.
Looks like I've been educated In the states, a buzzard is a vulture. Live and learn !
Not sure it wasn't just our failure to stay with the kings English. In my industry of mining the multiple words use for 3 different things can only be understood by knowing the persons origin sometimes.Looks like I've been educated In the states, a buzzard is a vulture. Live and learn !
Here in my suburban metro Detroit neighborhood we have sharp shinned hawks patrolling the air ways.The Red-tailed Hawk (buzzard) is common throughout the US. I live in Michigan but have seen them in many US states. There is a mated pair that lives in the woods on the property of the church I attend. I have seen the male on my porch rail in a residential neighborhood a mile south of its nesting ground. It stopped to rest with a juvenile squirrel it had caught one day. Any "hawk" silhouette seen in Michigan is usually called a Red-tailed Hawk, whether or not the distinguishing features were seen.
Only by people that don't know the difference. A buzzard is no vulture.Looks like I've been educated In the states, a buzzard is a vulture. Live and learn !

thank youThat's a great picture you got of your native buzzard . Theirs a lot of very knowledgeable people on Tnet that I learn a lot from over the years. I enjoy learning the differences and similarities we have from all over the world and what you would call buzzard we call hawks. Thanks!
