My go is for the Buzzard, it would sure as hell make desert trips and heat waves seem a lot less worrying and paranoiac.
minus-squaremassive_bereavement@fedia.iolinkfedilinkarrow-up0·3 months agoWait… Buzzard as in buteo buteo? What did they do to you?
minus-squarejdr@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up0·3 months agoAs a rotting corpse I live in constant fear of buzzards. But ya the only buzzards I know chill on dumpsters and fly in lazy circles. I blame Disney for and negative portrayals.
minus-squarequediuspayu@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·3 months agoI’m confused, are those vultures or buzzards? The buzzards I know hunt rodents and look like this
minus-squareprole@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up0·3 months agoOk, I googled it really quick because I was almost certain that’s a photo of a hawk. Apparently, in the US, we use “hawk” to refer to hawks and buzzards, but use “buzzard” to refer to vultures. So not confusing at all.

minus-squarejdr@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up0·3 months agoThis is a very good point. I was thinking of Cathartes but you are talking about Buteo. That’s a a mal-Americanism on my part.
