I always thought that vultures and buzzards were the same things, but after looking it up, a buzzard is more related to a hawk. They eat live prey, and their heads are feathered.

Vultures, on the other hand, primarily eat carrion and have a bald head. And they're not that cute. Whistling

Always learning something on this forum Big Grin


Me, too!
Thanks for the lesson!

So when "the buzzards are circling", they're circling DYING prey, not dead. Right?
