I thought buzzard was a blanket term, covering all those evil looking, baby snatching, night stalkers.

Encyclopedia Britannica says...
Quote:
buzzard, any of several birds of prey of the genus Buteo and, in North America, various New World vultures (family Cathartidae), especially the turkey vulture (Cathartes aura). Similarly, in Australia a large hawk of the genus Hamirostra is called a black-breasted buzzard. In North America, Buteo species are called buteos, buzzard hawks, or simply hawks.
but they're probably out of touch too.

Anyway, nice picture. Considering the equipment and circumstances, a damn nice picture indeed.
