@CStamp @noondlyt I just looked at Wikipedia’s list of birds called #buzzards—it included almost all of the #Buteos whose names I recognize, including #RedTailedHawks, something I never heard growing up in California. OTOH, my mother and many others called the local #TurkeyVultures (Cathartes aura) buzzards or #TurkeyBuzzards.
