It’s a terminology clash.
In the US, it’s common to refer to vultures as buzzards, but in much of the rest of the world, buzzard refers to what I’ve heard referred to as the “broad winged hawks” like the red tailed hawk and the red shouldered hawk. In contrast to the “short winged hawks” (accipiters) , like the Cooper’s hawk or the sharp shinned hawk.
A similar naming clash exists with sparrow hawks, which are hawks, except for what we in the US call a sparrow hawk, which is a type of falcon.
So red tailed hawks are a type of hawk, and in some places are called buzzards.









Or in a similar vein, they list soup on their menu, but it’s only one soup and it’s “soup of the day”.
On one hand, you know they HAVE soup, which is a slight improvement over not listing any. But you still have no idea what it is.
